Look for Companies that have a positive brand image or a particular unique selling point or a start up that has a great management team and vision. |
 |
Choose companies where there is a good track record of staff development and retention, and a clear commitment to training on both a personal and business level. |
 |
Select companies that are still in a growth mode and who are committed to promoting from within. The opportunities for personal growth will come your way quicker. |
 |
Look for companies that are committed to helping employees further their careers through educational opportunities and internal promotion policies. |
 |
Develop a career history that shows commitment to your employers and a track record of success and promotion. |
 |
Understand the competitive position of companies in your market place. |
 |
Broaden your knowledge of how different organisations approach the same types of issues. |
 |
Make the most of any opportunities to attend Industry events or conferences. Embrace the opportunity to speak at these if it is offered. |
 |
Always feel that your personal values and goals are in sync with those of the company and that you like and respect the people with whom you will be working. |
 |
Ensure that there is no potential for conflict between your personal and work commitments-particularly in the areas of hours, travel and time away from home. |
