Sometimes we do get what we wish for. Just make sure the job you get is one that you want. You can find out a lot about the job in the job intereview. Here is one fact a lot of us forget about the job interview. You are interviewing them too!

Getting an offer might be the biggest ‘sale’ you have ever made, but make sure it is a sale that you actually want. It is permissible for you to ask questions too. Find out the answers to questions that are important to you. Now is a perfect time to ask these questions. Think not what would dad say?, but what would dad ask? Ask those questions.

Walk around the company with the interviewer. Are people friendly? Can you sense the culture—how people are interacting with each other and with you, a visitor.

Would you be proud to work there? Be sensitive to all that you see and hear.

Trust your instincts and judgements.

Today, I visited a company with about 1,000 employees. It was a very modern office building and manufacturing facility. I could have been in the CIA building—it was incredibly quiet and had no energy. No fun at all. By next Tuesday, I would have been slitting my wrists.

My host, a friend of mine, admitted it too. No fun. Yikes.

So make sure the job you get, is the job you want. You can tell even during an interview.
