Finding your fit with a company is an important as finding a great pair of jeans. You don't want anything that stifles your personality, limits room for growth or clashes with your overall style.
Over lunch with some co-workers, we had a discussion about different company cultures. Two of the people at the table were commiserating over the tight, layered politics of a former employer--both came to the conclusion that SBC Advertising was a more complementary fit for their individual personalities and style.
So, here are some things to consider as you hunt for your fit:
- How much structure do you need?
- Is there room for growth?
- Does your work ethic align with what is expected of you and your position?
- Do you agree with the vision of the company?
Finding your "fit" is the first (and necessary) step on your career path. Don't be afraid to take a step back and make sure it feels right.
