Before accepting a job it is important to consider how the job stands to benefit you. Make sure that the job pays you at least the minimum wage. You should also examine the job’s overtime compensation policy as well as what kinds of benefits a position will offer you.
Some jobs will offer you the choices of a cafeteria plan style benefits package with Employee Stock Ownership Plans, health insurance, dental plans, or vision coverage. Another important consideration is the retirement compensation offered. Some jobs may offer support for an Individual Retirement Account, while others may give stock options or group 401(k) retirement plans.
