The Ideal Workplace
A visitor to my website asked for help in describing the ideal work environment. Here was my response.

The ideal job has a lot to do with your personality/communication style. Assuming you can describe yourself in adjectives, and hopefully since you are applying for a job you know yourself well enough you can, then you can use the same type adjectives to describe the ideal work environment for you.

So if you are a dominant style, your ideal environment will be one that involves high risk, fast paced, quick decision making where you have some control and influence in the outcome.

If you are an interactive style, your ideal environment will be one that involves interaction with a lot of people, are always meeting new and different people, control of your schedule so it is not boring, and very little paperwork.

If you are a supportive style, your ideal environment will be where you have steady routine, no surprises, can complete one project before starting another, and be a team player as opposed to being the leader.

If you are the analyst style, your ideal environment will be where you have time to analyze patterns, solve problems, see things through from start to finish, and know the final outcome of your work/project is correct/right.

Ultimately, you’ll have to answer the question, “why should I hire you?” So be prepared to describe yourself in adjectives.

For more information, here are links to a couple of my articles on the subject.
