I asked the one of the best manager's I've had what what he looked for in his next position and these were his three criteria: opportunity to learn, challenging role, and fun.
That stuck with me because it’s simple and makes sense. What else is there? If I’m learning I’m expanding my skills. If it’s a challenge it means I’m going to accomplish something worthwhile. And it has to be fun otherwise passion won’t be there.
If you’re thinking of a new job, run them through these three simple words. Easy to remember.
