How To Choose A Good Employer

Today, more and more young people are finding it difficult to choose the right profession for them. This "problem" arises either because they do not know what their best job is, or because they have studied for a profession, but it is no longer in demand in the labor market, or because they have chosen a profession at the urging of someone else fit them.

People are increasingly interested in job security, as well as ensuring the highest possible earnings, both now and in the future. In fact, these are the two essential criteria in choosing the professional path. However, these are not the only issues to consider when starting a career professionally.

Whether we are experienced employees or young graduates, we all strive to identify the profile of a company in which to value our potential and grow as professionals, in which to be valued and to which we return with determination every new day. For work.

The starting point is the knowledge, at least for the most part, of the areas or areas of interest and their adequacy to personal skills and competencies. In this way, your efforts will be directed and your actions will be precise. 

Depending on the personality profile and personal expectations you have for a job or company, you can orient yourself according to certain criteria in researching an organization that will meet your requirements.

One of these criteria could be the attractiveness of the organization as a potential employer. This refers both to the level of development of the company, the profit or the results obtained, as well as to the orientation towards its own employees, thus obtaining a higher degree of their satisfaction and lasting results.

Employees who are not treated well will not be efficient or productive. We also tend to choose certain companies when our personal values ​​are in line with those of that organization, being able to identify with them. Many of us measure the attractiveness of a company by the salary package offered at employment and the promotion opportunities.

Here comes another criterion - the motivation to work within that organization. When your work has a well-defined purpose, a concrete purpose, and corresponds to your desires, it can release an immensely productive and creative force, being that mobile that impels you towards performance.

You feel motivated when that job gives you the opportunity to use your skills and strengths, and your contributions do not go unnoticed and unrewarded. 

Don't expect to receive a salary increase every year just because you are wasting your time and getting to work every day. Many companies have adopted the rule not to increase the salary until the employee proves his personal contribution to the company's financial results.

You also feel motivated when you are encouraged to feel free and involved, and to be involved you must be allowed a certain degree of autonomy. This is where the organization's policies or practices come into play if it encourages the setting of flexible enough limits for an employee to take responsibility and use his or her strengths.

You need to inform yourself in advance to see to what extent the culture of the organization you belong to allows you to use your ingenuity to accomplish the company's objectives.

The traditional hierarchical model supported control and order, obedience, as well as a series of well-structured practices that left little room for expression of personal creativity.

Today, however, this gap between employee and superior can be an obstacle to success. On the contrary, access to certain data (once considered confidential) such as development plans and strategies, financial information, or best practices of the competition, gives you, as an employee, a privileged status of trust and can mobilize you to seek creative solutions to problematic issues. of the organization.

Whether you are a dynamic, proactive person, who takes responsibility for your own projects and judgments, or you prefer collaboration and teamwork, it would be advisable to focus on those companies that appreciate, encourage, and develop your qualities.
