1. The organization doesn't offer opportunities for training or further education
Your new job isn't just about earning money and gaining professional fulfillment in the present. It's about continuing to grow and prepare for your future, whether or not you stay at the organization in the long-term.
That means that training and educational opportunities are crucial.
"Choosing a job is an important decision, as it will define your daily life for, hopefully, a long period of time," said president of moving startup Roadway Moving Ross Sapir, who oversees the professional training of his 150 employees. "If you do not see a strong process for training at a potential new job, I would not recommend moving forward. If you, as an employee, are not worth putting in the time and effort, then the company is most likely not worth your time either."
So make sure to do your research and ask questions about what sort of opportunities are available in your potential new workplace.
