When you’re considering a new position, you should take the time to evaluate whether the job is what you’re looking for. That may seem obvious, but too many folks take the first job offered, says Find Your Dream Job guest William Corless, without considering what would make the job enjoyable. William says self-reflection is crucial to understanding what you‘re good at, what you enjoy in a work environment, and even your weaknesses. William stresses the need to come across as interested, competent, and engaging in an interview.
