Many companies can offer the best possible package for you in terms of salary and benefits. However, not all of them will fit you, and you won’t fit with all of them too. As a job seeker, you should look for a company that offers you not just the best package but also the best environment for career growth. How can you tell if a company has these two things? You should ask specific questions that allow you to know the company even if you’re still an applicant. 

Join me in this episode and learn from our guest, Hilton Burke, what those questions are and why we should build our personal brand--both on paper and in real life.
