Ken Sundheim, CEO of KAS Placement Recruitment

Running an executive search firm, many people ask me as to what to look for in a company that they are considering accepting a job at. ?This is one of the better questions I receive from young job seekers as it is better to get it right earlier in one?s career as opposed to bouncing from job to job, thus appearing unreliable to potential employers.

With that being said, here are some aspects or traits you should seek out in the organizations which you are interviewing with.

- Look for a company that teaches its employees and allows them to grow. ?The brain is a muscle and if you don?t use it, you won?t be an asset either to your current employer or future companies that you work for. ?Learning is fun and important and the organization you?re considering should know that as well.

- Look for a company that is competitive in the market. ?While there is something to be said for working for the underdog, logic says that the underdog is most likely going to be out of business asap and, as a recent college graduate, you?re not going to be able to do much about it.

Take my word for it when I say that the more established the firm, the easier your life is going to be (most of the time).

- Look for an organization that has strong management and that cares about the employees. ?As a young job seeker, it is highly important that you work under and learn from those who know what they are doing. ?Not all companies have strong management and you ought to strive to work for those who do.

Additionally, make sure the organization cares about its employees. ?We only get one time around (probably) in this life and we might as well go through it feeling appreciated.

In Closing

Now that you have an idea as to some aspects that make up a good company, relentlessly pursue finding one to work for. ?With enough hard work and some good ?ol research, you?ll find the job right for you.
