Check out the podcast on Macslist here: (https://www.macslist.org/?post_type=podcasts&p=15773&preview=true) You might be willing to accept any position offered to you, but that can often lead to a poor fit within a company. Find Your Dream Job guest Jessica Conn says fitting into the culture of a workplace is crucial to your future with that employer. Your values, beliefs, and actions need to align with those of the environment. Jessica suggests doing enough research before an interview to ask clarifying questions of the hiring manager. Don’t go against your values for a paycheck, or you could find yourself back in the job search sooner than you hoped.
