How To Interview A Potential Employer For The Right Culture Fit Jan 09, 2020

Show notes

It is not fun or cool to be excited about a new job just to start and find out it is terrible.

Sometimes we can avoid it.

Other times we can't, people are really good liars.

Questions to help assess culture fit:

Ask all the people you interview with why they like working for the company
If you talk to people who will be on the team you'll be working on, ask them to describe the team dynamics
Research
Go through your network, do you know anyone who works / worked there?
Make sure you get to meet/interview with the right people (future manager, peers, people you'll partner with, etc.)
Know what culturally hasn't been a fit for you and ask professional questions around those specific items
Don't be afraid to ask follow up questions to answers in number 6
Peer question - what's on thing you would change in your role and why

Stay or go?

It depends!

How bad is it
Benefits to staying?
How miserable are you?
How long has it been?
Confidence in avoiding this in your next role?

Let’s Talk About Your 2020 Goals Jan 02, 2020

Show notes

2020 is going to be an exciting and amazing year!

Before we set new goals think about your current role and reflect on:

How do you feel on Sunday nights?
How do you feel about the work you do everyday?
How do you feel about the team you work with?
How do you feel about your leader?
How do you feel about the organization you work for?

Feel free to make that pros / cons list :)

Now let's think about what you would change / improve:

Sunday nights
Work you do everyday
Team
Leader / manager / boss
Organization

Let's dream now. Perfect world scenario, you have everything you want, no limitations, truly perfect scenario, what would your career look like:

Sunday nights
Work you do everyday
Team
Leader / manager / boss
Organization

Super nerds! Grab an excel or flip chart. Put your answers together. Maybe put some categories to it.

Current facts / info
Feelings
Change / improve
Pros
Cons
Perfect world scenario
Etc.

Laying it all out, you can see the various buckets / areas. This also allows you to see the full picture and identify goals. And also the gaps. The gaps can help identify what your goals could be.

Make sure your goals are SMART

S - Specific

M - Measurable

A - Attainable / Achievable

R - Relevant

T - Time based

Now reverse engineer your goals. Work them backwards and map out each step!
