What I’ve learned from job hopping for 8 years
I’ve gone into many many many chinaman and unorganised companies. This is the summary of my experience so far.
1. Avoid ‘company confidential’ ads. The company saving costs to hire a permanent HR dept. In general, they are chinaman company, always on cost savings.
2. Avoid family business where the directors or top management are family members of the biggest boss. They have no idea how to lead and most of the time donno what they are doing. They did not work their way up. Do ur research online if they are family members (same surname and too young)
3. During interview, ask how many staff there are. Those small company (1-50 staff) tends to micro manage. Except startup companies
4. During interview, if they ask:
a) why did u leave ur last company?
b) why is there a gap in employment?
c) why this this this company short term only?
AVOID going into this company. They are focusing on your faults and NOT ur expertise
5. DO join companies which interview focuses on your experience and expertise.
6. During interviews, look around the company. Are there ppl there smiling and laughing? How is the office and table structure? OBSERVE. A good layout plan of office is important
7. How is the biggest boss (May be your direct or indirect boss)? Does his employees look up to him? Does he hav compassion? Does he hav a DAUGHTER? Bosses who has daughters are more compassionate.
8. Look up Jobstreet and Glassdoor review. Crucial.
When u’ve entered the company already, observe:
9. How is the structure of the organisation chart? Is it well planned? Is it a clear path? Ensure u and other staff only report to ONE person.
10. How does the biggest boss manage? When there are mistakes or a problem, who does he goes to? Does he go to the GM or straight to the employee tat did the mistake. Avoid a company tat the biggest boss goes straight to the employee to find fault. There must b a clear line of authority
11. I once joined a company where, one person was head of HR, customer service, legal, etc etc, but she is not a GM or a VP. She was just a kuli, doing paper work like preparing ‘letter of offer’.
12. Avoid companies where manager always changes or managers who are only under contract. And they keep restructuring
Anything else to add?
