WHAT DIFFERENTIATES THE GREAT CAREER OPPORTUNITIES FROM THE ORDINARY?

HOW CAN YOU TELL IF A JOB OPPORTUNITY IS GOING TO BE A GREAT CAREER MOVE OR ONE TO AVOID?

 

WHAT IS A GREAT CAREER MOVE?

A great career move does not just mean continuous career progression it also means enjoying the work that you do – with people you like working with. It really does mean looking forward to getting out of bed on a Monday morning.

But more than that, what you learn and who you learn from should make you highly magnetic to other companies. The best employers know this but don’t fear it because every one wins if you:

At JohnsonBIM, the 5 boxes we tick before we call a career opportunity GREAT are:

1: Genuine career progression

Too many opportunities in the BIM world are dead ends – satisfying contractual obligations / ensuring projects are on time etc. There’s no consideration of where you go when the project finishes. Look for companies that put their staff first and, ideally, set out your career map with you when you start (or even before!).

 

2: Advanced digital vision

The vision, knowledge and energy it takes to create a deliverable yet stretching digital strategy comes from thought leaders who the career centric need to be associated with.

 

3: Inspiring leadership

Inspiring leaders create happy teams and help you achieve your full potential. They are the DNA of job satisfaction.

 

4: Highly respected brand

Be proud of who you are working with as well as gold plating your CV in case you ever do decide to move on.

 

5: Reference BIM projects

Work on projects that excite you, make a difference, get featured in the media and increase your credibility.
