Look Before You Leap
What are some of the things you should think about when
you are about to change jobs. The experts at Aricent share their
views.
In a fast moving, hi-tech market, making a job change has
become a complex decision. The huge number of organizations
in the market-place with a whole range of attractive "offerings"
for the potential employee, do not make the decision-making
process any simpler.
However, no one will dispute that complex though
it may be, this is one of the most important decisions that
you can make as even a single choice can make or break your
career.
What are some of the things that you should
consider in order to come to a decision that is right for
you? Here is our advice: Consider carefully what your reasons
for change are. Ask yourself what are you looking for that
the present job cannot offer.
- Keep in mind what your eventual long-term
career goal is. Consider whether this job decision is taking
you away or towards that direction
- Look at the specifics of job on offer, it
must provide you with enough opportunities to do what you
enjoy doing
- Look at the requirements of the role in
order to get a feel of how much you'll be able to contribute
quickly
- Look at what the organization values. Introspect
on your way of being and on your own values and beliefs.
Consider whether you would just survive or actually thrive
in that organization
- Look at the indicators of/information on
the work-culture at the organization. Introspect on your
way of working and being. Consider whether you would be
comfortable in that work environment

along these dimensions will let you pick the right job at
the right place for your self. To help you do this analysis
