#23: 3 Proven Ways To Determine If A Company Is The Right Fit For YOU

Sep 19, 2024

Too many people stay stuck in a career or role which no longer serves them — out of fear they’ll end up in a worse situation.

So what steps can you take when considering a change to confirm a potential employer is the right fit for YOU?

Today’s episode was inspired by a question someone asked at a conference: “How do you ensure a potential employer’s values align to your own?”

Before I answer it here, I want to address the REAL underlying issue at the root of this question. The fear of making the ‘wrong’ move.

Digging deeper, I discovered this individual had a bad experience with management in a previous position. As a result, she was worried about making the ‘wrong’ choice in future.

And it’s a common challenge many of my clients experience too…

But here’s the truth: there’s no such thing as a ‘wrong’ decision. Because your knowledge, skills and experience ALWAYS go with you. However, there ARE strategies to reduce risk with your next career step.

In today’s episode, I’m sharing the number one mindset shift and 3 practical strategies you can take to find the right fit — and minimise risk with your move!

You’ll learn:

  • How your fear of making the wrong choice keeps you stuck in an unfulfilling situation — and a simple reframe to shift your mindset
  • The most critical questions to ask throughout the interview process and BEFORE accepting a job to determine it’s the right fit for you
  • My top tip to assess the values and leadership style of a hiring manager, so you can mitigate risk with your move
  • A common pitfall to avoid when assessing company culture — so you find a position which fits YOU
