But these are four points. I think just sort of summarize everything is your job satisfying for you, are you getting certain sort of pleasure and benefit of working there, are you skills being utilized to the optimum level, is there an amount of the money is important for you, is the money good then your previous organization. If the money is more, is the stress also more? Is it going to keep you awake at night, and make you more stressful. Then what you were is not something you have to think of. And your work-life balance, you have time for things apart from your work as well. So these are the things which you should be checking actually, uh, maybe before you say yes.
Lastly, you know, nowadays because interviews are happening online, so you have to make sure that the offer is genuine. So always research about the organization, about their employees in LinkedIn, possibly email the HR, and confirm that you know this is the offer that you have only sent. You can even contact the ministry of labor, if you think that something is amazing. If something is somebody's asking money for something, usually they wouldn't be asking any money or anything like that before you join.
On the other hand I would say; don't quote a very absurdly high amount of salary, like three times or four times of your current salary, because that's unreasonable. Don't quote your financial burdens, or your loans, or something like that. Because you have to focus on what you can deliver to the company, and they will pay you against that. Anything else usually doesn't count as much.
Look at the management, look at the attrition rate. Like how many people are leaving the company. If there's a company that a lot of people who are staying there say for a long period of time, that means that a company is doing something good, and people like working there. So, those are the companies maybe you want to be working with as well.

Aug 13, 2021So, usually airfare tickets are given to the employee, and it is usually also given to the family. So, make sure that is included, like your family, your wife, and children are included in that. Similar goes for the visa, if it is given for you, or is it given for the whole family. And also health insurance. It's very important to have health insurance here. So, if it is given for only you, or it is given for the entire family.
Then, if you come to the interview, obviously there will be certain tricky interview questions which you might be asked. Like; how did you come out of a difficult situation?, or where did you make a mistake?, So these are things that you have to be prepared of, think about those things. What were those things which have happened to you, and maybe answer them in a very natural way, so that it doesn't look rehearsed, but be prepared for such questions. Most of them will be general questions. But you have to be prepared of some tricky questions as well.
So these are the things that you should be checking for. Apart from the salary is two other things to be looked at is performance based incentive. Is there a scope for having any performance based incentive? Is it included in it, and how frequently would you be judged on it? So, will it be done at the end of your contract. Will it be done yearly, how frequent is the appraisal like your increasing salary or in general, your appraisal of your performance. Is it done annually, or is it done by the end of your job contract - two years or three years.
Hello friends, if you've had a job offer in your hand, then what are the points which should be looked into the job contract, before you actually sign it. So, the first thing is you are in the process of starting a job application, and you want to look for which are the places to apply. So the best place to research is look at online for the company's presence. Look at the hospital, and the clinic websites. Look at the Linkedin profile of the company, their employees who work there, and trying to connect with them. See how's the working culture there. See who are the people who are working there. Maybe you might find some friends or colleagues who have already been working there, or have left that company, and were working there before. So that's a good place to start.

Sep 08, 2021Oct 18, 2021So, these are the certain things that I think you should be looking for before you start your job, and you actually sign that job contract, offer a letter. Thank you and see you in the next one. Bye bye!
Lastly, I would say, if the interview doesn't go well, then just be polite. Just say thank you for the opportunity for interviewing, and hopefully there might be an offer later on in the future. But being boastful, or being saying that, you know, perhaps this company below my level of skills, or I've got too many other offers. So, I don't care even if I don't get this. Saying those things very openly, and burning the bridges, while you leave. That is not a good thing, because in a small community, people know each other very well. Who knows that same company might approach you tomorrow with a higher pay, higher position. So be always polite and courteous. It's okay. They didn't like you, or you didn't like them either way. Just possibly say thank you and move on.
So this is usually mentioned, but you can always ask them if it is not common things like your duty shifts, your rota timings on call duties, etc. These are typically things which are clearly mentioned, so you should look out that day. I mentioned very clearly, and nothing seems too unusual, and that is what you have to check.
Te next thing is to look at your cover letter. Your cover letter should be basically able to sell yourself to the company. Like why are you the best person for that job, and look at the job description, and tailor your cover letter according to that job description. What are they asking, what are the qualities of the person they're looking for, and include those things. If you have them genuinely, then you include them in your cover letter. So, that means the recruiting manager is seeing it. They know that you've done the research that. Okay, this was a job description which was given by us, and this candidate has written a cover letter, which is mentioning those things. And they will ask you questions on that. So, don't write something which you are not doing, or which you are not.
Probation period notice period, these other things you should be looking, frequently probation period will be six months. So check what is the notice to be given if you leave in probation period. What is the notice to be given if you live outside the probation period. But within your contract, is there a penalty for breaking the contract. And what is the penalty, is it financial or otherwise. So these are the things which are often spelled out in the contract. Make sure you ask them, and make sure it is written somewhere. So that you are aware when you do that. That is what you had agreed upon.
Next. If got the job offer letter, say you did the interview very well, and then they send you an offer later. Obviously, the first thing you will check is your salary. Is it matching to what you asked them or is it less, if it's more that's good. But if it is less, or if it is the same. I mean, if it's less than obviously, then you have to possibly ask them for some negotiations around that part, other things. Maybe you can look at the visa, the airfare, and the health insurance
Lastly, I would say is four things which matter before you take up a job contract that is the job satisfaction, the money, the stress, and the work-life balance. So, think about these four things. Most of us frequently just take up a job, maybe because we want it at that point of time, either you are having a low paying job, so you're going for higher salary. Or if you have a stressful job, so you're going towards a less stressful.
So if those things are resonating with you, or if those things are in your alignment, or if you are that person whom you genuine. If you are doing those things, make sure that you add that in your cover letters. So that they will be the first person to look at your what you say the cover letter, and they will select you at least for the first round of interviews. So, that is the best place to start. So, your strengths and skills have to be mentioned in absolute strong details in your cover letter, and then your CV will obviously explore on those things in much more detail.
About the salary, don't quote your salary directly, just before the interview they will ask you for potentially a range or something, but try to avoid that. Perhaps you can keep it at the end of the interview is what you can tell them. Because if you give them a range, then they will pick the lower end of the range. Then, if you give them a salary upfront, they will work around those itself. But if you've already sold yourself on your cover letter, and your interviews gone great. Then, you can potentially at the end tell them, a specific number. So that they know that you have researched that particular number well, and they will always try to negotiate around that part only. If you give a range that's a risky thing, because they catch the lower end of the range.
