If you are in the process of applying for jobs you may wish that the employer sees you as the perfect candidate for the job but it is also important to ensure that they are the right fit for you too.

Ring the interview stage, you may wish to sell yourself to the company but it may also be that they need to sell the job to you too.

As an employee, it is important to work for a company that you believe in and that shares some of the same values as you do. A job should be about more than just the hours you put in, it should be a working relationship that can be built upon over the months / years. Although not everyone enjoys their job and sometimes you have to just get on with it, having some job satisfaction is important.

If you do not like the ethos of the business and the way it is run, you probably will not enjoy the job either.

IF you are going to need to work closely with other people then you need to make sure that you can get on with them. It is likely that you are going to be spending much of your day with them and being able to work well together is an important part of the job.
