MAKING A GRACEFUL ENTRANCE
How To Find A Job You Don’t Want To Quit
* * *
The beginning years in the workforce entail constant trial and error, and that often translates into a lot of turnover. Most young people take the first job that is offered to them, even if it’s not the best match, because they feel like having a job is more important than having the right job. Sound familiar?
Like many young women starting out, Esther, 29, an architect in New York, says she was too eager to jump into her first job. After the experience she discovered the cardinal job-searching principle.
“You really have to consider yourself a good enough product to sell. That way, you will look at a lot of places and not just jump at the first offer. With my first job, I sort of jumped the gun and it wasn’t the best experience. With my second job, which I’m a lot happier at, I came to visit the office and had them show me the project they were working on. Doing my due diligence made me a lot more confident about
coming in on my first day, and ultimately happier and more productive at my job.”
