One must not allow an organisation to trample all over one's values (like being forced into something as ridiculous as cultic activity...) <BR/><BR/>If the shoe does not fit, keep walking... you will find an organisation that is suitable for you.

As you also pointed out, it is incumbent on the job-seeker to really think realistically about what the options are out there. It is important to research the various types of organisations available and see where you think you can fit in. Will a specific organisational culture be forced on you? I suppose at one time or another in one's working life, there will be compromise. How do you handle all these different facets when considering your best option?Ijeoma Uche-Okekehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04719584212904035171noreply@blogger.com
