Too Eager To Say YES!

Summary: <p>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.</p> <p>BEFORE taking a second to think about it, you say yes, sign, start your background check and are off to the races!!</p> <p>NOT a bad thing AT ALL if you did your due diligence.</p> <p>If you did that, amazing! Congratulations!!</p> <p>If you didn't thats ok too!</p> <p>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.</p> <p>If you have started you can still ask your questions, good opportunity would be in your 1:1 with your manager.</p> <p><br></p> <p><strong>Due diligence points:</strong></p> <ol> <li>Culture fit<br> </li> <li>Mission of company<br> </li> <li>Team goals<br> </li> <li>Individual goals<br> </li> <li>Team member<br> </li> <li>How does your group work together<br> </li> <li>Typical day / week / year<br> </li> <li>What's your impact<br> </li> <li>Leadership style<br> </li> <li>Biggest challenges to you when you first start<br> </li> <li>Projects<br> </li> <li>Growth opportunities<br> </li> <li>Where did the person go who had the job before you<br> </li> <li>Does the role align to your passion / purpose<br> </li> <li>Internet research<br> </li> <li>Know anyone who works there, has worked there or interviewed with them?<br> </li> </ol> <p>If you'd like an episode on how to interview a potential employer for culture check out the episode released on 1/9/2020</p> <p><br></p> <p><strong>To support the show:</strong></p> <p><strong>Paypal:</strong></p> <p><a href="http://paypal.me/stephdennis13">paypal.me/stephdennis13</a></p> <p><strong>Anchor:</strong></p> <p><a href="https://anchor.fm/careertalk">https://anchor.fm/careertalk</a></p> <p><br></p> <p><strong>For show notes go to:</strong></p> <p><a href="http://stephdennis13.com/category/careertalk/">http://stephdennis13.com/category/careertalk/</a></p> <p><br></p> <p>To work together:</p> <p><a href="http://listentocareertalk.com/">listentocareertalk.com</a></p> <p><br></p> <p>For the Google Survey:</p> <p><a href="https://goo.gl/forms/PToleX38QgQ4EPaz1">https://goo.gl/forms/PToleX38QgQ4EPaz1</a></p> <p><br></p> <p><strong>To connect:</strong></p> <p>Instagram:</p> <p>@stephdennis13</p> <p>@careertalkpodcast</p> <p>Facebook:</p> <p><a href="http://www.facebook.com/stephdennis13">www.facebook.com/stephdennis13</a></p> <p><br></p> <p>We are written, produced, hosted and edited by Stephanie Dennis</p> <p><br></p> <p><strong>You’re awesome!!</strong></p> <p><strong>Go be your amazing self today!!!</strong></p> --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. <a href="https://anchor.fm/s/a1293a0/podcast/sponsor/acugkf/url/https%3A%2F%2Fanchor.fm%2Fapp">https://anchor.fm/app</a> --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/careertalk/message
