Nobody wants to work for a bad boss!

If you’ve worked for a bad boss then you know how draining and frustrating it can be. It makes you want to ensure your next boss won’t be the same way. If you are looking for a job and are fearful about landing a job with another bad boss, just know this is a valid concern.

How can you ensure the manager you interview with will be a good boss?

We believe one of the best ways to avoid accepting a job with a bad boss is to learn what their leadership style is. There are two questions we tell people to ask in interviews to secretly figure out what it would be like to work for that hiring manager. Here’s how you can reveal a potential boss’ leadership style.

First Disruption to Smartphones in 15 Years🤳

Tech Startup With Traction: Turn your phone from a cost to an income source. Intriguing idea, isn't it? This is why, we have our eyes on the launch of Mode Mobile’s Pre-IPO Offering. It’s the latest in a series of impressive raises among smartphone innovators, likely spurred by Apple’s recent $3+ trillion valuation.

Mode saw 150x revenue growth from 2019 to 2022, a leap that has made them one of America’s fastest growing companies. Mode is on a mission to disrupt the entire industry with their "EarnPhone," a budget smartphone that’s helped consumers earn and save $150M+ for activities like listening to music, playing games, and ... even charging their devices?!

Over 11,000 investors already acquired shares — and with only days remaining prior to their bonus tier closing, allocations are limited.

Post-interview thank you notes! If you want to stand out after an interview you need to know how to send a proper thank you note. These emails show the employer you are truly interested in the position and can leave a good impression. However, it’s important to know what to include in the note and when you should send it. If you send a bad thank you note, it will work against you:

When it comes to our work life, sometimes choices we need to make feel difficult. Others are a no-brainer. Tell us which of the following is right for YOU!

Today’s Eat To Succeed recommendation comes from Work It DAILY’s Senior Editor Jenna Arcand. These reusable sandwich bags from Stasher have become a staple in her household:

My boyfriend uses these every day to bring his lunch to work. Eco-friendly and easy to clean. We no longer use plastic bags.

Learning how to add insight, opinions, and knowledge into workplace discussions is a process.

If you are a young professional at a new job, then you have probably realized it takes time to understand how a company’s culture works. Time spent observing how meetings are conducted, learning when to speak or stay quiet, and knowing when and how to approach your manager are all valuable bits of information about how your company works.

What’s so important about understanding all of this stuff then? Well you’ve probably also realized that you don’t feel one hundred percent confident in sharing your thoughts and ideas at work just yet. You are new to the working world, so why would anyone respect your ideas, you feel too young. It takes time building the confidence you need to feel ready to voice your valuable knowledge. By understanding your company’s culture, you’ll feel comfortable knowing how other people voice their thoughts so you can voice yours.

Learning workplace culture is just one step in building the confidence you need to feel like a valued employee. Here are some other things you can try to boost your confidence and make the start of your new job go as smoothly as possible.
