10 Evaluation Rules Of Future Workplace

 

Our resume writing service, which belongs to one of the best professional resume companies, presents you an post on workplace evaluation rules. In this post you will find an instruction on how to carry out a “test drive” of your potential employer, i.e. how to define whether an employer suits a jobseeker, whether future colleagues irritate him or not, and why the way to office is important.

Our service publishes the tips of Polina Safronova, computer software developer, on what you need to evaluate before accepting a job offer. Here is Polina’s advice for you. “Three month ago I left my job and started to look for a new employer. It is very hard to find a perfect one. Requirements are almost the same as if you look for a partner for relationships. We spend 40 hours per week at work. We live there, whatever terrifying it sounds. But ideally, it should sound not terrifying, but vise versa. I used to make wrong choice for many times, convincing myself that it was just a job and nothing more. Suchlike convictions always ended unsatisfactorily. Having understood my “intuition”, relying on which I used to make decisions about job choice, I made up a list of ten rules, according to which I conduct a real test drive for each potential employer”. Here is the list of the rules.

1. Evaluate the way to office

Think, would you like to begin each your day with this route? Can the surrounding make your bad moon worse, if something has already upset you? Can the way spoil your good mood? Look around in office as well. Do you want to stay there longer or leave as soon as possible? Is there a place where you can hide when you have creative crisis or rush jobs?

This rule is very important but it can be neglected if employer meets all the points mentioned further in this post on rules of workplace evaluation.

2. Become acquainted with your future employer

Imagine the following situation for a minute: if you accidentally meet your potential employer in a shopping mall on the weekend, will you come and greet him or try to hide? Each jobseeker should ask himself this question. If you want to stay unnoticed in your minds, then in reality you should also quit it. Do not force yourself even because of the salary. Sooner or later you will leave such a job having no forces and morally destroyed. Or even worse, you will start having doubts in your professionalism, if it turns out that your boss is boor.

An employer should not irritate you at least at the first stages of your cooperation. The best option is if he has a chance to become a role model for you. You should have desire to listen to him not because you want to curry favor, but because you sincerely respect him.

3. Evaluate a test task

Are you ready to implement it for free? If you were given such tasks at the University and promised to get a credit for them, would it have been interesting for you to fulfill them during a year, would you have been ready to pay for such an education? Are you afraid? Do you feel unbearable boredom, black melancholy or irrevocable despair looking at the task? This all is important, because this is approximately what you will do every day.

There should not be “tomorrow will be better than yesterday” or “I might like it later”. Tomorrow you will do the same tasks, and not at home drinking tea, but in office. And the day after tomorrow you will do the same. Consider this fact.

4. Set salary demands

Now we are not talking about the size of your salary. We are talking about official, or “grey”, and unofficial “black” salary. Never start working without having signed officials documents, which define the size of your wages. You may trust your employer, but anyway your relations should be documented. If a jobseeker does not have official papers that prove his right to get certain amount of money, then he is completely vulnerable. And not necessarily your employer should be a bad person, it may just happen that he has no money for you, neither this month, nor the next.

5. Get known how you can benefit from work

Why do you need position, on which you can learn nothing? Income does not always mean money. If during the work process you learn how to use some software, create an interesting project and so on, then your value on the labour market will increase.

This is your payment for the investments of your labour. Of course, you can not use this “payment” yet to buy a flat or an air ticket. But some time later all your skills will be cashed.

6. Do not waste time

If you feel that something is wrong, maybe you should reject second interviews and test tasks. Many people may think that you are an unemployed irrational silly. But this is a good way of time saving. Do not exhaust yourself and never bear the burden of unnecessary responsibility.

Do not be afraid to quit something if you are sure that you do not want to continue. You are not obliged to anyone, except yourself. It is not necessarily to finish some processes, and because of this you should not feel awkward.

7. Look at the projects and products of a company

If you find quality embarrassing, run away. Do not think that you will be a superman and raise a company to an absolutely new level. Except the case when you are invited to occupy the superman’s position. If the whole company still uses Internet Explorer and makes presentation with the help of Comic Sans, there is nothing you can do. Reforms will quickly turn you into an “enemy of the people”. Remember Galileo’s destiny. Leave people in their comfortable world, before they burn you at the stake a corporate inquisition.

8. Make questions

Interview your potential employer with the same passion as he interviews you. Coming to a date you are not staying aside, but try to get as much information about a person as possible. Show employer that he also should make you interested. If he starts doing that, it is a good sign. If no, it meant that for the employer you are consumables. Ask if they pay for a test tasks, learn the reasons of why position is free now and so on. Discuss and specify everything that does not seem logical to you.

Employer should feel proud for his work, but not be prideful. Pride means that he is ready to share success of the company with a jobseeker. And if you are not invited for the next stage of interview, because you should mind your own business only, it is better for you. Natural selection “deleted” the weak employer.

9. Evaluate the workers at a glimpse

Average statistical expression of their faces is the future expression of your own face. If they look like martyrs with miserable faces, then sooner or later you will look the same. Not always it all depends on a man’s character, a lot of things depend on the content. And not always a man creates and changes the surrounding, but surrounding changes a man, making him happier or more miserable.

10. Look to the future

Are you passing stress interview? It means that your work will also be stressful. Does your future employer flirt with you? It means this is just beginning, and later he will start insisting more. If you are ready for this – go ahead. But do not think that hard training – easy combat.

If you have passed hard controversial interview, further absurd will only progress. Run away and do not wait for a moment when you inner voice will scream “I can not work in such a nervous atmosphere”.

Well, these are all the rules. They do not help you to find a job, but they help to make a right choice and protect yourself from unnecessary regrets.
