Career Talk: Learn - Grow - Thrive

Too Eager To Say YES!


Listen Later

You're interviewing, things are going well, you're getting excited. It's a great company, it's a great team. Everything looks good, everything sounds good. You get an offer.

BEFORE taking a second to think about it, you say yes, sign, start your background check and are off to the races!!

NOT a bad thing AT ALL if you did your due diligence.

If you did that, amazing! Congratulations!!

If you didn't thats ok too!

If you haven't started yet, ask to talk to your future manager to get some questions answered. If they are benefits related HR / recruiting might be the best contact.

If you have started you can still ask your questions, good opportunity would be in your 1:1 with your manager.


Due diligence points:

  1. Culture fit
  2. Mission of company
  3. Team goals
  4. Individual goals
  5. Team member
  6. How does your group work together
  7. Typical day / week / year
  8. What's your impact
  9. Leadership style
  10. Biggest challenges to you when you first start
  11. Projects
  12. Growth opportunities
  13. Where did the person go who had the job before you
  14. Does the role align to your passion / purpose
  15. Internet research
  16. Know anyone who works there, has worked there or interviewed with them?
  17. If you'd like an episode on how to interview a potential employer for culture check out the episode released on 1/9/2020
