Hiring Doesn’t Mean a Company Is Healthy

 

One of the biggest mistakes professionals make is assuming that because a company is hiring… the company must be healthy.

Uh, sadly, no.

Sometimes they’re putting fresh paint on the walls and didn’t bother to patch the concrete underneath.

Today, I have a short, but powerful lesson on how to evaluate whether you’re joining a company that’s going up…

Or is sinking, but just doesn’t know it yet.

Of course, no one has a crystal ball.

But as your dear ole’ Coach Andy likes to say…

I can see around corners because I know what to look for.

In the next 5+ minutes, you too will have my see-around-the-corner goggles.

Just ask a few questions and you’ll know whether their needle is moving up or down.

Smart professionals don’t just evaluate the job.

They evaluate the future of the company offering it.
