How to choose a good company when changing jobs?
There is a saying between husband and wife that "three years of pain, seven years of itch", and is there such a curse in the workplace? According to Lao Wang, who has ten years of headhunting experience, observes the workplace, and believes that there is also the curse of "three years of pain and seven years of itch" in the workplace.
Many professional managers generally define their career development cycle as 3 years. Why is it 3 years? Because they join a company, they will definitely blow up their knowledge in three years, and then they will no longer be of much value to the company. But there is still great value to other companies, they can only improve their salary and position by changing jobs.
And 7 years? Lao Wang believes that if a person can work in a company for 7 years, it means that the person has fully integrated into the company. It can also be said that the company has a very deep influence on this person, and the "blood" is flowing with this company. company culture. If after 7 years, if you are looking for good opportunities and high salary, it is unlikely that there is any professional HR willing or willing to hire, but the possibility of hiring is not ruled out. Because with the increase of age and the aging of knowledge, it is difficult for you to integrate into any company.
Just yesterday, a friend who has worked in a company for 6 years and is about to have the "7-year itch" wants to quit and ask Pharaoh, how to choose a company? What are the characteristics of a good company?
Lao Wang believes that a good company must have the following three characteristics:
A business leader with great personal charm and leadership . If a company's top corporate leader does not have personal charisma and leadership, it will be difficult for the company to form its own unique culture and to stand out in the market. If the leader of a company is a novice rabbit, it is difficult to lead a group of wolves to fight hard, and it is difficult to achieve great development. In the end, you can only turn your wolf into a novice rabbit.
The rapid growth of corporate performance and good remuneration and benefits. The level of salary and corporate benefits are inseparable. If a company's performance is very poor and it is not profitable, how can the boss give you a high salary? Don't forget, a business is not a welfare institution, let alone a charitable organization. Only with the rapid development of corporate performance and profits can employees be given high salaries and good benefits.
Positive corporate culture and good corporate reputation and social reputation. A good corporate culture can infect you and make you better. The company's popularity and social reputation will have a strong endorsement effect on career development, rather than deducting points. It will also make you feel proud and happy. sense of achievement.
Good corporate standards already exist, but how do you know about a company? We all know that HR of many companies will do background checks on candidates before they enter a job, but don’t forget, when many candidates decide to join a company before or after the interview, they will also do the background of the company. Investigate to avoid jumping into the fire pit.
Then you may ask Lao Wang, how to do a corporate background check? From what dimensions do you understand it? According to Lao Wang, it can be understood from the following three points:
Ask friends in the circle and ex-employees. This is the most direct, simplest, and most rude method . Whether the company is good or bad, how its performance is, how its salary and benefits are, and whether its reputation is good or not, only the people in the circle know best. In addition, resigned employees know the company's pain points best, know the company's situation best, and learn more about the situation from employees who have left their company, and then make comprehensive judgments by themselves.
During the interview process, pay attention to the observation of employees and leaders at all levels, pay attention to the details of the company, especially the quality of the company's front desk staff and the cleanliness of the company's toilets. The genes of an excellent company will definitely be reflected in the interview process on employees at all levels and in the details of the company. Last week, Lao Wang had dinner with a college classmate who worked in a high-quality catering company. When he came out of the bathroom of a restaurant, he told Lao Wang that the catering company should develop well and its business was booming. Pharaoh was puzzled and asked how she knew? Her answer surprised Pharaoh, saying that the bathroom in their hotel was very clean. To judge whether a hotel is good or bad, you can observe it from the toilet, because it is a detail. The same is true of a company, if the toilets are dirty, the company is not much better.
Check the company's official website and ask Du Niang . If a company's official website is very poor, it means that the company does not focus on marketing and branding, and it may also mean that it has no money. Remember, some people or companies are very concerned about their personal image and appearance. As for the rest, you can ask Du Niang to know, and Lao Wang will not say more here.
It is very necessary to decide whether to join a company after you have done a background check on the business.
