Is your job too tight across the shoulders?

Yet another great post this week, It's all about the fit from Career Hub:

When an interview doesn't go well, or you don't get a call about your resume, it's the same as trying on a dress that doesn't fit right. It looked great on the peg and you REALLY wanted it, but it just wasn't a good fit for you.

Not every job is the perfect job. Sure, the job itself seems good and the salary is right, but the workplace might be wrong, or you can't mesh with the boss. That job isn't the right fit.

Fit is very important; it's what brings engagement and satisfaction. If the job doesn't fit right, it feels like underwear that binds: uncomfortable in all the wrong places. You won't be happy on the job or at the end of the day. Most likely, you will want to quit after a couple of years, and that's expensive for an employer.

Fit goes both ways. One of the most important things that interviewers look for is whether you will fit in with the organization or not. Every organization has its own culture, and employees that fit within the culture, especially in small companies, are very important. Otherwise, it can throw the balance of the company off.

If you don't get the job you want, it probably wasn't the right fit, and nobody wants that.
