By that I mean doing some simple salary calculations so you go into an interview with a range in mind. Negotiating salary during the interview process can be very overwhelming. Sure, negotiating a salary can be uncomfortable, however, if you take less than you think you’re worth, you’ll be unfulfilled financially won’t stick with your new job for the long-term. I once made this mistake myself, when I took a job in Denver for a really low salary.

Did you know when you don’t negotiate a job offer you are missing out on a huge opportunity to gain benefits, such as more cash in your pocket? According to a recent CareerBuilder survey , 49 percent of job seekers don’t even bother to negotiate job offers. This usually happens because many job seekers have the tendency to underestimate their value as a professional. When negotiating job offers, make sure you provide proof of performance.

I replied in a professional manner, stating I believed this was sent to me in error but I appreciated the feedback, and asked if there was any specific interview feedback she could provide me as I continue my job search. She admitted the email was obviously not intended for me, and to wait to hear from their HR department for next steps in the interview process, that she appreciated my passion for the industry, and that I was “so thoughtful.”

A few months ago, I wrote a blog about the frustrations of imaginary jobs posted on internet job boards. In it, I referred to legitimate companies that post job opportunities that may or may not have existed at one time, but are now only posted to entice job seekers to submit their resumes to the company for non-existent jobs. But there is another type of imaginary job – the job scam. Job Scam Targets. Avoiding Job Scams.

Work It Daily. None of us needs to be reminded that a job interview isn’t the place to let your Halloween creativity emerge. I often hear horrifying stories from people about the toxicity of their work places. I work with them on processing the pain and trauma of where they’ve been, and that’s valid and important work. It just doesn’t fit in a job interview. Searching for a job can feel vulnerable.

In both my recruiting and my job search coaching, I’ve been hearing a lot of questions about salary negotiations lately so I’ve put together a little Q&A of common questions. First, though, let’s talk about the mindset of salary for your new job. Many of us have issues around worthiness and putting the right price on our own services (which is all a salary is… the price for your services). Don’t negotiate for the sake of negotiating.

I left a job in November due to ill health, and got a new job in March. I got amazing feedback from the recruiters thanks to your advice, but two weeks after I started, lockdown began, and two weeks later I was furloughed. But after a bit of moping and really thinking through what I wanted, I managed to land an amazing new job near me- and they’ve just offered me a salary that’s 10% higher than I was even going to ask!

My employee told me they loved their current job but it was a good opportunity worth looking at. It’s understandable to be surprised when you hear an employee might be on the verge of leaving, but it’s your job as a manager to handle it professionally , including giving them a good reference if they’re a good employee. That was a big overstep — that’s between her and your employee, and it’s not something you have standing to negotiate. The reality is, employees leave jobs!

I’m a manager trying to protect my employees from this as I completely disagree. It’s true that there can be times when a manager truly does need to mandate “all hands on deck” for a certain period of time — for instance, during a product launch or leading up to the election if you’re working on a political campaign. I just started working from home for a company based in a different state than me.

When people are interviewing each other face to face, it’s clear that all the candidates are qualified—everyone has been screened to know that the potential employees are skilled enough, the potential company is interesting enough, the job is a decent enough fit.

But it DOES have a policy where you get a 10 minute break for every 4 hours you work, and a half hour for every 6 hours you work (it amounts to a break every 2 hours, more or less). And even if its slow, labor cutbacks have made it so there is ALWAYS more work that needs to be done.
