Finding the Perfect Company to Work For
In this episode of The Daily Hint with Jens Heitland, we dive into how to identify the right company to work for—a place where you’ll thrive both personally and professionally. The key to this process is to first understand yourself. Many people make the mistake of looking for jobs without considering what truly matters to them. But if you don’t know your own values, how can you expect to find a company that matches them?
Start by defining what you believe in and what you value. Whether it’s innovation, sustainability, or work-life balance, these elements are critical to finding your dream organization. Once you have clarity on your values, it’s time to research companies that align with them. Tools like LinkedIn and even AI platforms like ChatGPT can help you identify potential employers. Look into how these companies match your values and where you want to be in your career.
The final step is to rank the companies based on how well they align with your personal and professional goals. This strategic approach ensures you find an organization where you can contribute meaningfully while also supporting your own long-term growth.
Tune in to this episode for actionable insights on mapping your values to the right company, so you can take the next step in your career with confidence.

Transcript:
This is how you find the dream organization to work in. Let's imagine you have no idea which company you would love to work for. What you need to do is look at yourself first, and that's what a lot of people get wrong. Understand what are your values, what you believe in, and what matters to you as a first step. And then you link that to where you want to be. And with this, you select the companies that fit your values, that fit where you want to be.
And then you look into ChatGTP, the internet, LinkedIn, and wherever you want, to find these companies. And then you look at and match them in detail. How do they fit my values? How do they fit into where I want to be? And how can I contribute to their mission? And through that mapping, you will rank the companies and understand which ones are the ones that you can contribute and the ones that contribute to your success.
