Guide to Establishing new employee fit

Employee Perspective

By Coletha Albert, Owner, Presented Professionally

The Question

To stay at this job or not to stay at this job, that is the question! So many people are educated on how to write the perfect resume, how to successfully complete the interview process, how to dress for success, etc...

No one answers the anxiety filled question, "Is this job a good fit for me?"
For all practical reasons, most adults need to work and should work. However, most employers are not honest when it comes to the interview and the subsequent job offer. No mistake about it most interviews are chock full of lies and misrepresentations. What can you do?

Well, following is "What you can do?" for just this type of situation. So before you vibrate into a full blown anxiety attack, have a look at the following information. The data is geared to help you sort out your perceptions and define your feelings as fact or fiction.
If it happens to be a nasty situation, doubt your sanity no longer! Batten down the hatches and be prepared to weather the storm or jump ship. If it happens to be a good situation, then you can take a deep breath and settle down to working your way up the corporate ladder without those nagging little voices of doubt troubling you.
