LinkedIn Power Users for a More Powerful Job Search Before we get started, I would like to apologize to Derek Weeks for the quality of the video. This was my first time recording a Skype conversation, so the video and audio arent great. Actually, by the end the voices dont quite sync up. (Yes, I am a cheapskate and used the free trial version of Call Record, and yes, I did eventually pay the $20 for a license.)   He discusses a hugely powerful technique that will allow you to get in touch with your target companys customer base so that you can add real value to your conversations during an interview. Imagine being able to say, Well, Ive had several conversations with your customers and they love your product features.He tells how he averted disaster by finding the dirty laundry on a company that wanted to hire him thus avoiding a potentially career-killing move. This illustrates how important it is to find out if your target company is actually a fit for you.

How to Answer Questions About Your Salary Requirements

How to Answer Questions About Your Salary Requirements This is the third in a series of six posts on salary negotiation published in partnership with PayScale.com. It’s true that you can look on PayScale to figure out the going range for a job, but you can never guess how much the company values the position for which they are interviewing you. So don’t give the first numberâ€"because if you request a salary lower than the range for the position, the interviewer will say nothing, and you’ve just lost money. You want the interviewer to tell you the range for the position, because then you can focus on getting to the high end of the range. But you can’t work to the high point if you don’t know it. When there are two good negotiators in the room, each person will try to get the other to give the first number. Each time you deflect the question, the interviewer will try again. Your goal is to outlast the interviewer until they finally tell you the salary range for the job. Here is how to respond: Question: What salary range are you looking for? Your Answer: “Let’s talk about the job requirements and expectations first, so I can get a sense of what you need.” That’s a soft answer to a soft way to ask the question. http://www.payscale.com/js/psextension-min.js?1 http://www.payscale.com/syndication/start_large_v3r.aspx?instance=1js=1v=1af=job=city=state=country=United%20Statestextcolor=333333backgroundcolor=a5d34c Accurate, real-time salaries for thousands of careers. Question: What did you make at your last job? Your Answer: “This position is not exactly the same as my last job. So let’s discuss what my responsibilities would be here and then determine a fair salary for this job.” It’s hard to argue with words like “fair” and “responsibilities”â€"you’re earning respect with this one. Question: What are you expecting to make in terms of salary? Your Answer: “I am interested in finding a job that is a good fit for me. I’m sure whatever salary you’re paying is consistent with the rest of the market.” In other words, I respect myself and I want to think I can respect this company. Question: I need to know what salary you want in order to make you an offer. Can you tell me a range? Your Answer: “I’d appreciate it if you could make me an offer based on whatever you have budgeted for this position and we can go from there.” This is a pretty direct response, so using words like “appreciate” focuses on drawing out the interviewer’s better qualities instead of her tougher side. Question: Why don’t you want to give your salary requirements? Your Answer: “I think you have a good idea of what this position is worth to your company, and that’s important information for me to know.” You can see the pattern, right? If you think you sound obnoxious or obstinate by not answering the question, think of how he feels asking the question more than once. Also, by the time the interviewer has asked two or three times, the interviewer will know that hiring you means having a tough negotiator on his teamâ€"another reason to make you a good salary offer!

5 Things To Consider Before You Take That Management Job - Work It Daily

5 Things To Consider Before You Take That Management Job - Work It Daily At first glance, accepting a management job can seem like a no-brainer â€" you have the inside track on what’s going on at the office, you get to delegate tasks and, hopefully, your paycheck gets fatter. Related: 6 Ways To Prepare For A Management Job But before taking over that corner office, ponder these five questions about other matters that go along with assuming a higher title. 1. Do You Want That Much Responsibility? Leaders may get much of the glory for success, but they also get much of the blame for failure. Are you prepared to handle the stress of budgets and deadlines, to scramble to make things right when one of your charges shows up late or makes a mistake, and to be the one who must find a way to appease a fussy client or an impatient higher-up? 2. Can You Handle Conflict? Pete Friedes, former CEO of the international human resource consulting firm Hewitt Associates and co-founder of Managing People Better, notes that people who end up unhappy in management often “can’t stand the conflicts inherent in managing â€" confronting poor or marginal performers, putting up with all the excuses, trying to meet the various needs of the employees, insisting on excellence and dealing with bad behavior.” If the thought of being the one who fills out performance evaluations, mediates office squabbles, and reads the riot act to underachievers makes you queasy, maybe management isn’t for you. 3. Do You Prefer To Work On Your Own? By its nature, managing involves being around others much of the time. An introverted personality or simply a preference for focusing solely on your own work may lead to discomfort or discontent as a manager. “Taking a management job when it isn’t a good fit with your personality will most likely result in your losing confidence in yourself and not doing a good job,” Friedes warns. “Accepting an individual role when that is a better fit will be much more likely to achieve job satisfaction and self-confidence.” 4. Are You Ready To Be Fodder For Water-Cooler Conversation? Becoming “one of them” can affect how others perceive you, and redefining your office relationships to adjust to the new social structure can be difficult. “When people take a management job, they are really changing careers. But they don’t realize this,” says Alan Vengel, a consultant on workplace issues and author of Twenty Minutes to a Top Performer and The Influence Edge. “All the relationships they’ve had with their colleagues will now be changed. Management considers them part of management and on the management team. Colleagues consider them part of management and no longer part of their team. So, the people you’ve been having lunch with, drinking your coffee with, complaining about the boss with, are no longer accessible to you. You really lose a support group. People look at you and treat you differently.” 5. How Would The New Position Change Your Life On The Whole? Lastly, take to heart Vengel’s notion of moving up to management as being a career change. Are you ready for it? How might longer hours, additional stress, and perhaps the need to travel for work affect your family and personal life? Just as if you were considering a new job at a different company, weigh the pros and cons of the management position to see if it is the right move for you.

To The Mom Who Went To Work On Hardly Any Sleep

To The Mom Who Went To Work On Hardly Any Sleep Thats your alarm. I know, you cant believe it. It feels like your head just hit the pillow because mere minutes ago, you were in your childs bedroom nursing or rocking or back-rubbing or delivering yet another drink of water or offering yet another persuasive lecture on how there absolutely isnt a monster or a ghost or a giant robot with glowing eyes in his room.And yet its time to start getting ready for work, a lot earlier than your sleeping husband arises because theres totenstill lunch to be made, outfits to be picked and permission slips to be signed. But you cant even fault him. He spent plenty of time in the kids room last night, too.You turn on the shower and pray that the water hitting you right in the face will pummel you into an elevated state of alertness. It doesnt. You apply layer after layer of concealer to the bruise-like pigments under your eyes, hoping to look well-rested, or at least not like a pro boxer punched you. Its an improvement, but the kind of industrial-strength makeup you need today is only available to Stranger Things special effects artists. You sip your coffee or your tea and pray that the caffeine will jolt you awake. It shifts you from having to make a conscious effort to keep your eyelids raised to them staying open on a voluntary basis, but its absolutely no replacement for the ZZZs you didnt get. You want to cry. You do cry.You contemplate calling in sick. And then you realize there are at least a dozen reasons you cant, not today.You wonder if anyone sees you during your commute and assumes, because youve got a glimmer of pretty young thing-ness about you, that partying until the wee hours is the cause of your worse-for-wear look. If they only knew.You sit down behind your desk or stand up in front of your classroom and you do your goddamn job. And you do it well. Because why should your co-workers or manager suffer because your snooze-averse offspring (whos probably napping at daycare or with the sitter now, that lucky little jerk) wouldnt give you a lick of rest the previous eveningand because you dont know any other way.You see, youre a warrior. It doesnt make you feel any better to read that, but its the honest-to-goodness truth. Youre basically a soldier without proper ammunition who expertly slays dragons (and monsters, ghosts and robots). When your child-free coworkers find out just how sleep-deprived you areusually moments after complaining about their own laughable levels of exhaustionthey look at you like the hero that you are.So if ever youre feeling down on yourself after youve had a heavenly 6 or 7 hours of sleep (or 8 lets dream big), think back to the work days when you showed up and got stuff done with far less of a break on your brain than any other employees had. Its a skill, one I hope you wont have to rely on for long and one that probably wouldnt make sense to add to a resume, but a skill nonetheless.--This story originally appeared on WorkingMother.com.Fairygodboss is committed to improving the workplace and lives of women.Join us by reviewing your employer
