    How To Get The Starting Salary You Want Hint: You Have To Ask

    Job Interviews / Salary

    Do you accept the first salary offered, or do you negotiate?

    Before starting my own business, I worked for small businesses, nonprofit organizations, and international corporations.

    And during those years, I always accepted the first salary offer.

    I didn’t try to negotiate a higher salary.

    Not even once.

    Mostly I was afraid they wouldn’t hire me. It turns out until recently; most candidates accepted the first offer. But things are changing.

    Consider Responses To Salary Questions

    Most job seekers dread the expected salary question. That’s not surprising as most Americans aren’t comfortable talking about income, even with friends. 80% of respondents to a Lexington Law survey said they wouldn’t ask a friend how much they make.

    How To Create Stories That Sell You To Employers

    Job Interviews / Job Transition

    Most of the resumes I see focus on what people do on a daily basis. The result is a boring list of duties and responsibilities that’s unlikely to inspire anyone to call them. Employers want to know what you can do for them.

    The best way to show your value is to focus on what you’ve done for your current and previous employers. The impact you’ve made. The same is true for interviews. Employers don’t want to hear about what you do every day. They want to hear about your achievements in terms of the impact you’ve made.

    Prepare for your interviews with stories that illustrate your value. Like all stories, there should be a beginning, a middle, and an end.

    Fastest (And Easiest) Way To Boost Your Confidence

    Job Interviews / Job Search / Personal Development

    One thing that can change your career, even your life is to always be open to new ideas. But, that’s not exactly what this post is about. If you’re a Grey’s Anatomy fan you already know this secret, if you’re not here goes.

    A couple of years ago, I was watching Grey’s Anatomy, the episode was the climax of a protracted storyline about a gifted surgeon with a massive brain tumor. Despite many other surgeons saying the tumor was inoperable, chief neurosurgeon Amelia Shepard, not to be confused with her brother McDreamy, has determined that she can take on the job.

    Right before the surgery, Shepard’s intern finds her standing in the Superhero pose. Head high. Chest out. Hands at her waist. Just like Superman. Amelia explains that standing like that gives her confidence and the scene ends with the two of them standing side-by-side looking like they can take on the world.

    Well, that’s fine for TV but does it work in the real world?

    The answer is yes.
