20 things to consider before joining a new job

Finding a job is difficult, but what’s more difficult is to decide if the opportunity at hand is good for you or not. The decision of whether to accept a job offer or not involves a lot of risks and thus, everything should be kept in mind before taking a decision.

Of course, salary is an important factor to consider while accepting a job offer, but it is not the only one. There are a lot of other things that are to be kept in mind while accepting a job offer.

Here is what a candidate should check before joining a workplace:

1. Responsibilities
It is very important to be clear about the role and responsibilities that you will be given. That’s when you will be able to do justice to your job. It is important for you to assess the roles and responsibilities given to you and to decide if you are right fit for the responsibilities.

2. The financial health of the company
Ending up in a company that has weak financial health may be bad for your career. Thus, it is advised to go check on the company’s financial health before joining.

3. Company’s brand value
A company’s value in the industry is an important factor to look for when deciding upon a career. Joining a company with average or below average brand value means less growth for your career in the long term.

4. Salary
Of course, this is one of the most important things to consider when making a career decision. Your paychecks will pay your bills, so it is important to consider salary that is being handed out to you. If the salary is satisfactory, you can consider joining.

5.Employee benefits and perks
Employee benefits and perks include insurance, sick leaves, health insurance, etc. It is important to consider these aspects before joining to ensure a secure future.

6. Training and development
If you want to grow in the company, it is worth knowing about the training and development programmes offered by the company. If there is a programme that interests you, you can always join the company and take the programme to grow in your career.

7. Work-life balance
Every job requires you to alter your lifestyle at different extents. Considering work-life balance will help you evaluate if it is possible for you to change your lifestyle according to the job’s demands or not.

8. Current team and boss
It is important to know about the current team and the boss you will be working with. It will give you an idea of whether you will like working in the team or not.

9. Company’s growth rate
To know a company’s growth rate is as important as knowing about its brand value. The growth rate can be in terms of employee size or increase in revenue/turnover. A company with a high growth rate can hike your career growth.

10. Company’s attrition rate
A company’s attrition rate is the number of employees leaving the company. It is very important to know about a company’s attrition rate before joining it. You don’t want to be a part of the company for the short term. Besides, a high attrition rate means unhappy and unsatisfied employees and that’s not where you want to work.

11. Learning opportunities
One thing that every candidate looks for while joining a company is learning opportunities that the company will offer them during their working period. Increasing learning opportunities signify growing and healthy workplace.

12. Work culture and environment
As a potential employee, it is necessary for you to know about employee engagements and work practices. It is essential to know the type of environment you will be working with and if you will be comfortable there or not.

13. Transnational opportunity
For people always seeking for transnational job opportunities, it is essential that you learn about your company’s trans-national opportunities and do thorough research on the places they will send you too, the currency, the cost of living and career prospects in the country.

14. Commute
It is also important that you think about your commutes to your workplace. The distance you will be covering every day and the time it will take. If your residence is far from your workplace, you will have to decide between finding a place to stay near the office or commuting every day.

15. Employee feedback
If possible, talk to the current or previous employee about the company. They will tell you the actual way the company functions and give you genuine feedback.

16. Stability
Consider job stability and security before you join the company. Even if job-hopping is a real thing, job stability is still required. It is important to make sure that you are financially stable and the job will be good for you.

17. Challenges
Make sure that the company you are about to join offers you with challenges that will help you succeed and grow in your career. See if the challenges the company has to offer will help you succeed or not.

18. Company history
Look at the company’s history and the way it responds to the changing industry trends, this is important to consider in the constantly changing trends. The way a company deals with changing trends is responsible for its growth and shows the extent of adaptiveness by the company.

19. Perks
Before joining a company, it is important to look for the facilities they provide to their employees. Food cards, club memberships, gym and meals are some of the common perks that every company provides to it’s employees.

20. Flexibility
Can you work from home? Are the work /shifts flexible? These are a few questions that you should keep in mind when you are considering accepting a job letter. You might want to work in a flexible work environment with less salary rather than a non-flexible work environment with a heavy paycheck.

“Cracking the Code: Unveiling the Challenges Faced by Freshers in Job Hunting and Proven Strategies to Overcome Them”

As a “FRESHER” there can be several challenges when it comes to finding a job. Here are some common challenges and strategies to overcome them:

1. Lack of Experience: One of the most significant challenges for freshers is the lack of professional experience. However, you can overcome this by focusing on your educational achievements, internships, projects, and any relevant extracurricular activities. Highlight transferable skills and emphasise your eagerness to learn and grow.
2. Competition: The job market can be highly competitive, with many applicants vying for the same positions. To stand out, tailor your resume and cover letter to each job application, emphasising your unique qualities and how they align with the requirements of the role. Network extensively, both online and offline, to expand your connections and increase your chances of finding opportunities.
3. Skills Gap: Sometimes, freshers face a skills gap between what they learned in their education and the requirements of the job market. Bridge this gap by taking up online courses, certifications, or workshops to gain additional skills and knowledge. Highlight these efforts on your resume to showcase your commitment to professional development.
4. Lack of Professional Network: Networking plays a crucial role in job hunting. Attend career fairs, industry events, and job fairs to meet professionals from your desired field. Utilize online platforms like LinkedIn to connect with industry experts and join relevant professional groups. Personal referrals and recommendations can significantly increase your chances of getting noticed by employers.
5. Limited Interview Experience: Lack of interview experience can be nerve-wracking for freshers. Practice common interview questions and conduct mock interviews with friends or family members. Research the company thoroughly before the interview, and prepare questions to ask the interviewer. Confidence and preparation can help you make a positive impression.
6. Salary Expectations: Freshers often face challenges in negotiating their salary due to their lack of experience. Research industry standards and salary ranges for similar roles to understand the market value. Focus on highlighting your skills, enthusiasm, and willingness to learn during the negotiation process.
7. Persistence and Patience: Landing a job takes time, and rejection is a common part of the process. Stay positive, motivated, and persistent in your job search. Continuously improve your skills, seek feedback from interviews, and learn from each experience. Use any spare time to volunteer, freelance, or take up relevant projects to enhance your portfolio.
8. Unclear Career Direction: Many freshers may still be exploring different career paths and may not have a clear direction in mind. It can be challenging to find a job when you’re unsure about the specific roles or industries you’re interested in. Take time to research different career options, speak with professionals in various fields, and gain clarity about your career goals.
9. Lack of Soft Skills: While technical skills are important, employers also look for soft skills such as communication, teamwork, problem-solving, and adaptability. Freshers may need to work on developing and showcasing these skills through examples from their education, extracurricular activities, or part-time jobs.
10. Limited Job Market Knowledge: As a fresher, you may have limited knowledge about the current job market trends, industry demands, and emerging opportunities. Stay updated on industry news, job portals, and professional forums to understand the skills and qualifications that are in demand.
11. Employer Preference for Experience: Some employers prioritize candidates with prior work experience, making it difficult for freshers to compete. Look for internships, part-time jobs, or volunteer opportunities that can provide valuable experience and make your resume more appealing to potential employers.
12. Limited Exposure to Interview Techniques: Freshers may not have had many opportunities to practice their interview skills or understand the nuances of the interview process. It’s crucial to learn common interview techniques, prepare for potential questions, and practice your responses to make a positive impression during interviews.
13. Rejection and Emotional Resilience: Facing rejection is a part of the job search process, and it can be disheartening for freshers. Developing emotional resilience, maintaining a positive mindset, and learning from each rejection will help you stay motivated and focused on your job search.
14. Financial Constraints: Freshers may face financial challenges while searching for a job, such as managing living expenses without a regular income. It’s important to plan your finances, explore part-time or freelance opportunities, and consider financial support options available to you.

Each of these challenges presents an opportunity for growth and learning. By addressing these obstacles strategically and staying committed to your job search efforts, you can increase your chances of overcoming them and finding a suitable job.

Onboarding Freshers in our Company

Freshers and Newtech India Corporation  have so much in common. Both are full of innovative ideas, fresh energy, enthusiasm, passion, and zeal to do something meaningful. No wonders why freshers are great hires for our company. But hiring and onboarding a new employee in our company comes with a price (CTC). And hiring a person straight out of the college with no previous experience for our company can slow down the shipping cycles as we need the time to onboard you and bring to the speedy pace. Our HR person or someone from our team will take this onboarding task.

To make your life easy and reduce the induction period as freshers in our company, we have listed down a few ideas which we learned from our own experience and want all of you to know about them. Hope it will be helpful.

1. We have chosen the right team for you

Being a fresher, everyone wants to work with the best people from the industry. Initially, we allow you to  work in a team which has experienced people. This way you will learn not only the right tools and best practices but also will get inspired from experienced folks. You can always choose the team dynamics smartly.

2. We Understand your interests

Before hiring you, we have asked about your areas of interest. But the company won’t obey plans. Many times, you are asked to work on some different projects which are not of your interests. In such situations, we make sure to convey you that we understand your interests and explain the situation well. We need you to feel connected with the company.

3. We try to understand your way of working

Sometimes, you might not want to follow the process, searching for the quick hacks to get the work done as fast as possible. And sometimes, you might want to build everything from scratch and miss the deadlines. In both the cases, our managers or team leader act as a mentor and teach you to be flexible as the need arises.   

4. Attention needed to understand the induction

We invest our valuables from our busy schedule and plan a proper induction for you. We will assign this task to our team members. Introduce our team in a fun way, we let you know about our work culture, office timings, leave policies and address all your queries.

We think about the day when we first joined some company and the questions we had. 

We Advise you not to discuss your financial matters with the team.

6. Explanation leave policies

Being in a company, we think of scale, growth and employees tend to work long hours and in lean startups, one can not take unplanned leaves and transfer ownerships. To avoid surprises from the new joiners, we request you to get details of the leave policy well in advance.

7. Feedback

Regularly we go on one on one conversations with new joiners for the starting months. These feedback sessions are a two-way process. We Give you unbiased feedback on your work and ask for new ideas.We hope this is the best way to mentor you and build a sense of trust and credibility in you.
