Join career expert and award-winning author Andrew LaCivita for today's video on 8 questions to ask yourself before accepting a new job!

TODAY'S TOPIC: 8 QUESTIONS TO ASK YOURSELF BEFORE ACCEPTING A NEW JOB
--------------------

Join me this week to make sure you know the right questions to ask yourself before accepting a new job.

This is no fluff piece because I don’t do fluffy and you deserve more than that.

These questions aren’t “Am I comfy with this job?” or “Will I grow?” or “Do I like the boss?” Can I get a yawwwwn?

These questions are designed to make sure everything makes sense for you--from an outsider's objective perspective. They surface the red flags before you accept.

These questions will help you with assessing the overall risk of accepting this job and give you some comfort when you DO accept.

I hope you enjoy the show!

lately, I watched several videos about job interviews, recruiting, career etc. They all sound about the same. Andy is the only one I found that actually has some legitimate insight and depth. This video is yet another example.

??? Hi Andy, I did my interview yesterday which turned out to be 80 min video interview with 2 people on the panel asking me questions all behaviour based. It felt like the longest interview in my life. The company HR talent recruitment contacts me today via phone call but I missed the call. She said she would send me a follow up email. I get home and my email has a job offer. I can’t believe they are offering the job one day after the interview. I need to call her tomorrow to ask a few questions before I sign the offer. I feel strange because I’ve worked for the same company for 28 years but the pandemic put me on lay-off and very nervous because this is a new job. Wow !! Thanks for your help Andy as you and your videos have helped me with a new resume new cover letter and your coaching videos have prepared me for my interview and bang I have a job offer. Thank you so much.

This popped up at just the right time, thank you! Im at the final stage with a consultant firm 😊

[tedoyle]

Sometimes, you've been out of a job for so long, you just take it and go on!!!

[raginidubey]

Hi Andrew
I came across your channel while browsing the interview content and this is my first video and I cannot even explain how much useful and important points this video has covered. I really like 5 star questions and it's detailed explanation with example.
5 STAR to this video from my side and now I am going to scan your each videos posted on the channel. Keep posting.

As a TA Professional, I love this guy! Everything he is teaching is on point :) Thanks for sharing the keys to help us to navigate the corporate ladder.

[craiggillett]

Hey Andy, I’ve been following your channel for a couple of months, trying your techniques, and I’ve had great success. Right now it’s 3.40 am, in New Zealand and I have two offers on the table. Both are excellent jobs, both with excellent total rem, and both have great advancement opportunities. This clip was very timely, I was able to run through your 8 questions, use them as a check list for due diligence. Most I had answered myself already, but I took great comfort in knowing I was on the right track.

[stephenriggs]

Oh my Squash! Andrew! This content is terrific. Incredible!

[rheadaniels]

This video was so incredibly helpful !!!

[ohsochuck]

Excellent thought provoking video! Thanks.

[tflipping]

Andy, I have followed your teaching and was offered a 6-figure salary. HOWEVER, before I got the offer, I had a meeting with other senior level managers and the vibe was off! After the call, I had a knot in my stomach from the energy, they had nothing nice to say about the company. Now I’m in the space that although it’s my dream job, multi billion dollar company, great pay…the culture/ppl that I will be doing work with are extremely negative.
I DONT WANT THE JOB ANYMORE. I don’t know what to do. It was pulling teeth to get one positive thing about the company. My predecessor left the company because she did not enjoy the work. I’m lost.

3 is the most important, do they invest effort and time to mske your division succesful

[rebecademiguel]

I just came across this video and find it incredibly clear sighted and thorough. Thank you for your advice.

[wheredafarqrwi]

You are super awesome Andrew!
You give away too much 😎 so very helpful thank you!

[captcooper]

Dude, you stole my favorite question: "What will success look like!" Funny how many companies do not know the answer to this!

[thministered]

Think this through. Company and the market and ya organization are they a leader. Do they have plans to catch the leader? Is there a demand? Will there always be a need?Product and service is there a need and a demand? Can we get behind the product? Is the unit vital and is it a strategic mark in the company? Why is the position open? Did they vacate did they leave for a better job did they leave cuz the boss was a psycho? Favorite questions if I was to take this job what does success looks like in a year from now? How committed are they to your area? How much time do I get? Are they paying training? What is there time line? Is it reasonable? Risks? Risk profile risk plan. Risks we cannot control.

Hey Andrew!
I find all of your videos incredibly helpful! I am in the social work field !

[wanderwoman]

Hi Andrew! Thank you for all your tips! You've helped me immensely from writing my resume, interview best practices, and negotiating my salary. Your video about switching careers is also valuable to me! In fact, I've just gotten a job offer yesterday. I thought I knew exactly what to do and negotiated my salary because the salary was way below my previous compensation despite this being a promotion. I'm dealing with an agency and I really love the job and company. What's hindering me from accepting the offer is the compensation being my salary 3 years ago :( Do you have tips when dealing with agencies who seem to have a capping as to what they can offer to me as remuneration?
