Hi All,
Every year we have fresh graduates passing out and searching for their very first job.It is ofcourse the most thrilling phase of their lives.But,before one jumps into a conclusion and accepts a job offer,ther are certain things that needs to be thought of.Do not accept just any job offer thinking that you might not get another job offer.The following are certain points that needs to be thought of before you accept a job offer:
- Benefits from the job:
This is one criteria that most of them fail to consider.Before you take up a job offer,look for the benefits that the company would provide to you such as medical coverage,bonus,reimbursements etc.Remember that these are as important as your pay package and other perks.
- Location :
Do consider the location where you would be posted.Make sure that the salary that you are being offered suffices the cost of living of the location where you are going to be posted.
- Distance :
Check out the distance between your home and your office.See to it that your office is not too far from your home,else you will end up travelling to and fro for most of your time.It is not only time consuming but it would also become very stressful in the long run.
- Career Growth:
Look into the growth opportunities that the company would provide you in the long run.No one would want to remain in the same position for years,everyone looks for a growth in their career.So,feel free to ask your interviewer the growth opportunities that you can look forward to in the organization.
- Work Environment:
This is as important as any other criteria to choose a job.Work environment starts from the dress code,the other employees,the boss etc.It would not be possible to access the work environment in the first sight,but you may consult the other employees who are already working there,so that you get an idea about the work environment and their work culture.
- Job Security:
Make sure you choose to join a company where your job is secure.In this period of recession it is very essential that you accept a job with the confidence that it is a secured job.
- Maximum utilization of your skills:
Make sure that your job gives you an opportunity to utilize your education and your skills to the fullest,only then you can expect growth in your career.Do not let your skills go in vain.
- Clear Vision:
Have a clear vision of where you want to be 5 years from now.Only if you have a strong vision,you will be able to achieve it.Do not leave your career plans upon time,that time will decide your career.It does not happen that way.You have to be clear about your career goals so that you can choose your career path accordingly.
Therefore,all the fresh graduates who are excited about their very first job,do consider the above points before you accept your first job offer so that you have a stable career.
Regards,
