What To Focus On Before Accepting A Job

1. Who do you see yourself as a professional?
Take the time to write out your career goals. What do you see yourself accomplishing? Do you see yourself in a leadership role? The more you prepare, the better your outcome.

2. Does your next opportunity offer professional growth?
Make it a point to demonstrate your talent and capabilities at all times to earn more autonomy.

3. Are there active leaders and mentors in that company?
Your goal before you leave the interview is to know who are the department leads and managers. Leadership plays a significant role in organizational culture and environment.

4. What is the total compensation?
Know the real numbers, what is your retirement plan? How much paid time off do you get? How about medical, dental, and life insurance? These are all suitable options when you consider your next CRNA position.

5. Where do you want to live?
Finally, you need to decide where you want to live because if you are not happy where you live, you won’t be successful in your career.
