I read something the other day. It was in a joking manor but it's true.

I read, along with giving a potential employer a list of references, the job site should also give you a list of contacts of previous employees to see how good the job was there.

I mean, for the most part, at the end of the day, you just need a job. But you'd like a job that's good for you with great benefits. A job you can handle without all the stress and room to grow and advance as needed. Wouldn't that be nice?

Washington State has plenty of great employers and the good people at Statista have a list of the 10 best employers in Washington State.
