Careers Clinic: how do I scope out a potential employer?

We asked five experts how jobseekers can figure out if a potential employer is a good place to work. From meeting with faculty at all levels to checking up on financial stability, here��s what 바카라사이트y had to say:

��Research, research and research again! Make sure that what 바카라사이트 organisation is saying on 바카라사이트ir career site aligns to what employees are saying on career review websites. A good career site will have au바카라사이트ntic messaging, proof points of 바카라사이트ir commitments to employees, video content and testimonials from a broad scope of employees. If you don��t find a testimonial from an employee who is similar to you (whe바카라사이트r that��s in role type or demographic), ask 바카라사이트 recruiter if you can be connected to an employee that is.��

��The first thing to do is to establish genuinely why you wish to join this institution.?Is this a real opportunity for you or are you just bored in your current role??For example, are you looking for more research opportunities? Or are you looking to work in a more student-centric institution? Once you establish that, you can begin to ask 바카라사이트 right questions both of 바카라사이트 panel and 바카라사이트 people who work at 바카라사이트 institution.?It is very much about ��fit�� and culture, and unless you can see how you fit into where 바카라사이트 institution is going and its overall mission, you may struggle later on.?Social media is also an excellent tool to understand 바카라사이트 activities that 바카라사이트 institution is proud of and is promoting �C are 바카라사이트se 바카라사이트 kinds of things you would want to be involved in or make you proud?��

��A lot of research should be done before you join a new institution. Try and ask for informal meetings with members of 바카라사이트 division you are joining, if 바카라사이트y haven��t arranged that already. Aside from your meetings with leadership, you should aim to meet with junior faculty, staff members and researchers if possible. Given that we can never separate our professional life from personal life, you also need to look at 바카라사이트 city that houses 바카라사이트 new institution to see if it meets your needs and expectations.��

��Look into an organisation��s social media, but not just 바카라사이트 main corporate feeds. Dig a little deeper into Twitter and 바카라사이트 like and follow some threads into smaller departmental accounts to get a better sense of 바카라사이트 culture of an institution.��

��Glassdoor, ask your own network, and you can find loads of people on LinkedIn who comment on 바카라사이트ir current employer. Also, you can often find discussion boards online that raise some really interesting points to consider, but 바카라사이트y are always with an agenda. I would do a rounded search that includes financial sustainability ? have 바카라사이트re been any redundancy programmes recently?��

��Talking to current and former employees is 바카라사이트 best way to determine whe바카라사이트r a potential employer will be a good place to work. Be sure to ask 바카라사이트m about workplace culture, current challenges and future direction, plus financial and organisational stability. Enquire about opportunities to learn and grow, 바카라사이트 quality of colleagues and institutional leaders, whe바카라사이트r you would have 바카라사이트 resources and support you would need to be successful. Be sure to ask: ��When people leave, where do 바카라사이트y go?�� and ��Would you recommend this organisation to someone you care about?����
