What are three most important things you are looking for in a new position?
Answer
If I change jobs it's always to better myself in my new career or in my new job. I look for vacation times and if the company is flexible in that area. More money is definitely on the books and an plans that the company may have regarding Health Care, Retirement Plans and so on. It would be wise to work for a company that has both of the above, at least if you get sick money will still come in and if you work there long enough a pension too. Always watch for what the future holds for you in any company you choose to join.
