I am a new grad myself and find this very helpful and true, what you stated here is just the things i am facing with at the moment, not being fit for the job really does have a huge impact on a person’s personal life too.

It’s really important to make sure that you’re “signing up” because you like the company and the company culture, not just because you’re desperate for a job. I know a lot of recent grads who took jobs they weren’t excited about, just because it was better than no job. Some of them have been able to find a job they liked from the job they hated, but others are still “stuck” at the bad job.

I had never heard of the glass door, sounds like an interesting site to check out. One thing I always did, even for my current job which I love is, I interviewed the company. As much as they want to interview you to see if you are a fit you should interview them to see if they would be a fit in your life. It’s a two-way street. Great tips

If you just interview with one person you can get a very biased and unrealistic perspective.

I think the ability to work from home, choose flexible hours, and have a casual relationship with all the other employees is even better than making a little more money.
That being said, if it’s your first job out of college, any job truly is better than no job. There’s always time to be picky later.

Good points!

For me, there’s little options for jobs so I can’t be choosy, but man, if you can be, then you should be!! Interview them while they interview you!

You need to always research the company before you work. I just had wrote a post about a scammy company that was trying to “recruit” me for their sales position when really all it is was hitting up my friends and family to buy their crappy services. No thanks. Make sure the company you work for is legit.

I know many people who have had miserable jobs…low pay, bad boss, etc. I wonder how many of them could have avoided the experience by asking questions other than how much and how many hours?
