What and how should you write in your cv? We can go forward

00:04.720 --> 00:07.760
to choosing the company you want to apply for.

00:08.320 --> 00:12.320
Choosing the right company to become a first time manager is an

00:12.820 --> 00:16.800
important decision that can greatly impact your career growth and development.

00:17.760 --> 00:21.840
Most of the advice related to the first time management job is

00:22.340 --> 00:25.640
the same like for any job. Before considering any

00:26.140 --> 00:29.600
specific company, take time to reflect on your career goals,

00:30.090 --> 00:33.370
values and priorities. Determine what kind of

00:33.870 --> 00:37.530
work environment, culture and industry align with your aspirations

00:38.030 --> 00:41.850
and personal values. Once you have a clear idea of your goals and

00:42.350 --> 00:45.450
values, research companies that match your criteria.

00:46.010 --> 00:49.450
Look for the organization that have a positive reputation,

00:49.770 --> 00:52.970
strong leadership and the culture that supports growth

00:53.050 --> 00:56.570
and development. It is important for any position,

00:56.890 --> 01:00.650
but it is even more important for the first time managers

01:01.150 --> 01:04.550
as you will be interested interacting with this manager much more often

01:04.630 --> 01:08.470
and directly right now. Examine the company's

01:08.970 --> 01:12.910
management structure to understand how the organization supports

01:13.410 --> 01:17.669
and develops its managers. Find out if they offer mentorship

01:18.169 --> 01:22.070
or training programs for the new managers. Consider the potential

01:22.150 --> 01:25.510
for growth within the company and if there are

01:26.010 --> 01:29.110
opportunities to advance in your career in the long term.

01:29.850 --> 01:34.130
As you not only plan to become a manager here, but also progress

01:34.630 --> 01:37.850
in the future, it is important to get a view of the

01:38.350 --> 01:41.210
organizational structure and current management chain.

01:41.450 --> 01:44.730
Ideally, talk to the previous managers in the company

01:44.890 --> 01:48.970
to understand the best and worst practices applied there.

01:49.770 --> 01:53.290
Evaluate the team you would be managing and the colleagues

01:53.790 --> 01:57.650
you would be working with. A supportive and collaborative team can make

01:58.150 --> 02:01.640
your transition into management smoother. Consider the dynamics

02:02.140 --> 02:06.160
and personalities of the individuals you will be working closely with and

02:06.660 --> 02:09.440
assess if they align with your management style and approach.

02:10.080 --> 02:13.640
As you are inexperienced, you might not have enough practice to

02:14.140 --> 02:17.720
work with people you have hard time with. You should be extremely

02:18.220 --> 02:22.240
picky about your first team to @ least start in a supportive

02:22.740 --> 02:26.640
environment in relatively established team as you will have more time to

02:27.140 --> 02:30.720
understand your role better and not dive in into politics,

02:30.800 --> 02:34.780
broken processes and conflicts inside team but you still

02:35.280 --> 02:39.020
can go into unknown if you have time and desire to tingle your nerves

02:39.820 --> 02:43.420
and as always, trust your instincts and intuition

02:43.580 --> 02:46.740
when making the decision. Consider all of the

02:47.240 --> 02:50.700
factors mentioned above but also listen to your gut feeling.

02:50.940 --> 02:54.300
If something doesn't feel right or aligned with your career goals,

02:54.380 --> 02:57.780
it may be a sign that the company is not the right fit for your

02:58.280 --> 03:01.830
first management role. Remember that becoming a first time

03:02.330 --> 03:06.110
manager is a significant change in your life and choosing the right

03:06.610 --> 03:09.030
company is crucial for your growth and success.

03:09.750 --> 03:12.950
Take your time, do thorough research and consider

03:13.110 --> 03:15.590
multiple factors before making a decision.
