How to Choose Your New Boss

Talk to former and current employees of the company that you want to work for. What do these people say about their bosses personality, work style, and the corporate culture? Do they perform the job duties for the position for which they applied?  Do top performers get rewarded and receive promotions? Also, ask former employees why they left the company and if they were able to find suitable employment afterwards. Observe their facial expression and demeanor as they answer the questions.

If possible,  meet your potential new boss in advance. When you see them, do they appear to be happy or angry? Do they speak and smile at other people? Notice their employees. Do they appear happy and satisfied or do the seem overworked or depressed?

When going into the office for the interview is the receptionist friendly? Does the boss smile when they see you or appear as if they are being bothered? Does the interview start on time?  Pay attention to your boss's interview style. Does he smile and ask you questions about your job skills and your plans for the future, or does he appear disinterested or distracted?
