The most fundamental career decisions made by professionals throughout their careers relate to consistently selecting the right opportunities. Poor "fit" is a career impediment at best and a "derailer" in the worst case with multi-year repercussions.
As a career coach I often see executives who rush into job opportunities without proper reflection. As a result, they end up in the job market again all to soon looking for their next opportunity, leaving behind a checkered track record.
Proper reflection considers factors such as: job fit, quality and stability of the organization, company culture, "chemistry", potential advancement opportunities, expectations, advancement opportunities, and availability of proper resources.
