While recently interviewing for a job, I learned that it was a newly created management position. I know this could mean good things are expected for the hiring company but what about that newly acquired employee? There are no guarantees anywhere but do you think a newly created position holds more risk than a typical open position that has been recently vacated? Although this company seems to be well rooted and growing, I can’t help but be a little apprehensive. What do you think? Thanks.

Well, they surely wouldn't be creating that new position if they don't need it and I'm pretty sure, considering that you said that it is a well rooted company, that they have definitely researched well about that position, studied the importance of that position and of course have seen the competitive offers for that position. They know why they need it, why they want it, and what they should offer to be fair for that employee.

Daily Q&A
How to Address Flagging Motivation?
How do I increase motivation levels in the department? How do I brand my business unit as an attractive place to work? I have top-notch IT professionals in my business unit who feel they are "children of a lesser God" because they are non-billable resources and do not get plum postings abroad, nor the glamour that goes with them. As a result, their motivation suffers.
