Update on the job. Remember to interview them, too. Ask appropriate, deep questions to understand what they are asking you to do. Do not count on the job title to define the job. Research the people you will be working with, just like they have researched you before the interview. If you fail to do your part of the interview...you will find what I found, and it is too late.

Before I even opened this post, the same thought cross my mind. We often are so keen to move on from our previous employment that we forget that there are two parts of the equation we are heading into -- and the new employer is the other part. That bit about being the right fit applies just as much about the business as it does you. I consider I dodged several bullets in my job hunting late last year, based almost entirely on the lack of professionalism in how my application and other aspects were handled, and follow-up observation.

Some basic research beforehand also can be useful. I checked out a couple of businesses that seemed to have attractive tourism industry jobs, but the feedback from customers was not particularly good. Interestingly, one business seemed to have a high turnover in the position as it was advertised about two months later again.

So, without giving too much away that may put your new position at risk, what are the issues that concern you?

Congrats and well done, sir!

Back when I was hiring people in technology the biggest question I had for older people (and not phrased as a direct question) - are you retired on the job? What I mean is, have you lost the will to learn and improve, and just are counting the days till you can no longer work.

In technology, due to the speed of turnover, you didn't worry too much about someone being 50, or even 60, most people move around anyway. What you worried about was someone who didn't want to keep learning, because it is all about learning in tech.

And definitely, interview the company - it impresses them that other people might be wanting you, since you aren't just acting like you will take the first job offered.

Rowan, the issues I have found once on the job have to do with direction and communications. The team of horses sometimes have a driver, sometimes not. When it does, not all the horses are being told the same message through the reins.
Very surprised the big T allows this level of disorganization to go on in one of their dealers.
