Things I Want In a Job

I feel it’s important to know what kind of job environment you want to be in. And although I don’t have years of experience, it’s good to have a general idea of what I like/am looking for.

In a previous post I discussed my first interview. (Bad bad bad) but it for me thinking, what would be a good work place for me?

Questions came to mind like what’s the best position I should be applying for?, what’s the physical office building like? And where is it (location), what is my superiors working style? What time would I have to be there from and until?...

I thought about a lot and asked my peers and professors. This all steamed from that initial interview. I didn’t want to experience that punch to my confidence again. And if it did come I wanted to be better prepared.

The feedback received helped put me in a direction I was better equipped for. And I knew the things that were important for me when looking for an ideal job environment.

These include: 1. Work life balance (not having to be in the office at a desk 24/7)

2. A superior that does not micromanage but delegates appropriately.

3. A team and superior that is open and collaborative. (They don’t mind questions and taking time to show me the ropes on things I’m new to)

4. Location I wasn’t too particular about because I know it’s not the easiest locating a job exactly where you want. But in an ideal world I’d stay within a 30 min drive from my home. (Also parking would be a cherry on top!)

5. Lastly a job where I can use both my skills in Marketing and Graphic Design. I don’t want something that’s only designing. I want to be able to utilize both my skills.

With all that being said, the hunt is on!
