Everyone wants to work in a good culture. However, deciphering the environment at a would-be employer is difficult. Business Insider notes three crucial questions to ask in an interview from corporate culture expert Marion Campan. Among them is asking what kind of worker receives promotions at that company. If the answer concerns employees who fit the culture and are role models, that's a green flag. Ask what the company's core values are, Campan says. Also, inquire about how the company dispatches feedback. Did the hiring manager you're speaking with recently receive some? What was the process like? If they only hear feedback in annual reviews, that may be a red flag. Read more: https://lnkd.in/eqfEcWVB Summary ✍: Todd Dybas

CEO Adriane Schwager thinks resourcefulness and proactiveness are "underrated" traits in potential hires. She told CNBC Make It that those abilities are related but have slight differences. Schwager says when candidates give examples of solving problems they were not asked to resolve, it shows proactivity. Also, she searches for resourceful people — ones who find solutions without a large budget or team at their disposal. Schwager recalls an intern she interviewed. He was working as a delivery driver and his car broke down, but the delivery needed to be within a specific time window. He rented a bike to deliver the pizza with time to spare. The resourcefulness caught her attention. Read more: https://lnkd.in/dRqee9cV Summary ✍: Todd Dybas

You fought your way to a job offer. What should you consider when deciding to take it? Experts told Harvard Business Review to first ask yourself what you may be overlooking. After being so locked into landing the job, you may have looked past a red flag. Re-check the job against your priorities, one expert says. Reassess your view of the company culture and your prospective boss. Both can make your work life engaging or enraging. Also, think about where you can go with this job. Not just in the near-term, but in the next decade. Will you be armed with fresh skills? Check the career paths of some new colleagues. Do you see a line of ascension for them? That's a good indicator. Read more: https://lnkd.in/eH_9UZdv Summary ✍: Todd Dybas

Sarra Bounouh, a product manager, does not enjoy negotiating. But she knows it's necessary. Bounouh told Business Insider that her negotiation strategy involves practicing her pitch and avoiding giving a number first. The pitch practice prepares her for a clear delivery of her counteroffer. Bounouh builds her counteroffer by showing how her "skills map to the job." If asked early on about compensation expectations, she says she does not have a number at the moment. She adds that she is more focused on meeting the team and hiring manager. Bounouh later negotiates the whole package instead of pieces bit by bit.

Business Insider culled through Bureau of Labor Statistics reports and ran its data to find the fastest-growing jobs. The results pointed to renewable energy and healthcare positions at the fore. The stats show that roles like wind service turbine technician and nurse practitioner will expand in the next decade. But, Business Insider notes that more job opportunities in certain industries don't ensure competitive pay. Home health aides will be in demand. However, their median wage ($33,530) is below the national median of $59,540. The fastest-shrinking job of the next decade? Typist. Artificial intelligence is poised to take over the role.

Frequent post-pandemic job hopping has slowed, but candidates still need to explain the changes in interviews. Some employers remain skeptical of frequent worker movement. If an interviewer asks about leaving positions, consider it a chance to explain your motivations and long-term desires. Harvard Business Review notes common reasons for moving like a shifting financial landscape, a mismatch in values, or poor work-life balance. Tell a hiring manager that trial and error helped find the proper work environment that matches your values. If lack of work-life balance was an issue, explain what you learned about maintaining your mental health while being a key contributor at work.

Everyone wants to stand out in their job interview. Harvard Business Review assembled tips from experts on how to do just that. They say to "do your homework" before any interview. That includes learning what you can about individual interviewers to find common ground. Develop personal stories that connect with what's important to the organization you're interviewing with. Despite proper preparation, you could hit a snag during the interview. Have examples of adaptability ready in case an interviewer asks about the experience you lack. If the interview hits a lull, answer the next question with the same energy you answered the first to reignite the conversation. Read more: https://lnkd.in/eKGxmYdP Summary ✍: Todd Dybas

Don't let a low salary band discourage you from applying. Employers will often pay more for the right talents, recruiters told Fast Company's Hillary Hoffower. So, if you see a role you love with a salary you don't, still apply. Be clear about your pay expectations from the start. You might find salary leeway, other options within the company or a new connection. Recruiters recommend waiting until the hiring company brings up pay in the interview. Then, rely on research. Explain the pay range for similar roles and ask what flexibility exists. One thing not to do: bait-and-switch. That's when a candidate says the opening range is fine and then goes for way more at the end. Read more: https://lnkd.in/eQbZuvd6 Summary ✍: Todd Dybas

Follow-ups help your chances of getting hired. They can also become irritants when done wrong. Experts on LinkedIn agree that proper timing and phrasing are key. Follow-up notes should also include a value proposition, not simply demands for a response and more information about what's next. Space out your messages by a week, career coach Yonelly Gutierrez says. That timing allows a clear response runway for the recipient. And don't encroach on a previously stated timeline. If the interviewer said they will get back to you within two weeks, wait two weeks for a follow-up. Meanwhile, thank-you notes can go out the next day. Be cognizant of your tone when you do follow up. Career coach Christina Persaud says "pushiness" is a byproduct of your energy. So, if you are feeling impatient or insecure, that will come through in your message. And focus on good email etiquette. Resume writer Ellen Hill recommends a clear subject line and concise email that focuses on the purpose of your follow-up and includes a value proposition.

Arm yourself with an excellent elevator pitch before you need it. Career coach Sho Dewan says a good pitch is clear and generates curiosity from the recipient. Dewan says in Forbes to start with a clear introduction that delivers a hook. Building something? Lead with that. Next, highlight your background with items you want them to remember about you. Emphasize "key points," rather than reciting your work history. Then, use language to make your objective be about them and you, not just you. Close with a call to action by directing them to a website or sharing your contact information. And thank that person for their time. Dewan says to practice your pitch so it's ready to fire when the chance arrives. Read more: https://lnkd.in/e9iGR5Rj Summary ✍: Todd Dybas
