Share the P.A. Chooses to work for a long time because of "people / teams" + how to observe people

We came across a quote saying, "Always take the job where you like the people. In the end, there is no clear career path, only great people along a path that reveals itself along the way." This means, "Always choose the job you like, because in the end, the obvious career path does not exist. Only great people will travel with you on a path that reveals itself."

Although many people argue about how to know if you like people because you've just been interviewed, haven't even touched or met the team... this point will be shared.

In the working world, we are often taught to focus on the job you want to do, a good salary, good welfare, or a good-looking company profile, but in our experience, staying where you are for a long time, "people" is an important factor that makes us want to wake up to work every day, want to meet colleagues, and know that on the day we encounter problems and can't fix ourselves, you can face anyone for help, not dark, working alone.

Nowadays, many companies that we come out with still have line groups, groups of friends that are inviting to talk to, consult that constantly. That's because we find good "people" and get along with us. But there are some places that we have to decide to leave because "people" work hard, do not listen, do not listen, do not cooperate, divide the political war, we just feel that yesterday is not to prepare to fight anyone. Just thinking is tired.

But there's one place where we want to wake up to work, because many of the people in the company and the team, from there and now, who still keep in touch, also talk about the fun days of yesterday, work with joy, every day is a smile, laughter, and a childish atmosphere, all of which the employees created themselves, not HR or the mission of the owner.

This is why "people" is more important than you think.

Not to say, many people view work as just meat, but in fact, we spend most of our days with our colleagues and bosses. Having good people around will make it possible...

✅ working atmosphere.

✅ problems easily solved.

✅ we've learned and grown with those people.

In the end, our career paths are not linear, but are built on the good relationships we meet, and the happiness of our work comes from the relationships we build with our peers.

Now, before you get the job...Let's take a look at how to observe people in a company who come from a private DEA, and based on the information we think it works, although we have not yet had the opportunity to work together, we can use these opportunities to evaluate the company's "people" and "culture."

✅ during the interview - notice how the person interviewing you is, does he look chill? Is the official, tense, friendly? Is it possible for you to ask?

✅ ask questions about people - if there's a chance. Try asking this (example).

- Does the team have any part-time activities together? What are you doing?

- What kind of work style does the team normally have, such as who's talking to who's reporting who's reporting (we'll know if this is complicated or simple)?

- What does HR / Team see as the biggest challenge of someone who just came to work here or the team?

- If there's a team conflict, how do you usually handle it?

✅ to talk to the team - if there's nothing on the team, you'll have a chance to talk to someone you need to work with. Let's ask questions about how to work and the atmosphere on the team (we've talked a lot of places).

✅ find information from people (present and past) - This is recommended to do homework first. Try to find people who work in their company through LinkedIn or platforms and send messages to talk directly for advice and views from them. But please do it courteously and not too much in your personal space. Which one is not sure to ask the person first?

✅ observe how often the behavior between job applications, companies or HR communicates with you. Is he punctual? Does he use excuses or reasons for things? Does he look respectful during interviews? All of these reflect corporate culture.

✅ ask to go to the office bathroom to walk through the atmosphere at work, people, talking about what they talk about, and we can see our facilities and workplaces.

Has anyone ever experienced choosing a job because of someone? Does it feel like it's the right decision? Or is there a way to observe "people" before starting? Let's share.
