But this is one concept that’s so important, it deserves a blog post of its very own. Aggressively negotiating with existing vendors for better pricing. Imagine a resume full of value-add accomplishments like this. Career Academy members are already familiar with this, as are those who have attended my live training programs.

Don’t get me wrong; you can have a totally groovy experience at lesser-known sites and accomplish many valuable blogging goals through those avenues. Given the choice between blogging for the big dogs and blogging for the little dogs, the benefits of going for the higher-ranking option are obvious. It‘s a no-brainer.

I see more and more people following my blog or Twitter each week! During this time, you do NOT job hunt but do your prep work of sprucing up your resume, LinkedIn, putting your resume online, networking, and notifying people you can interview starting after a specific date. 5) List your resume confidentially on resume sites.

Coincidentally, the next day I noticed on my blog roll that Penelope Trunk had just posted about that very topic and she was taking the view that salaries should be transparent.

“I love your blog and really appreciate your insights and advice. Thanks again for all your informative blogs!!! Your termination is more “in the past” than being the focal point of your resume because your first job description will be the temping stuff. I’m sure they have received a lot of resumes.

You also have more negotiating leverage for a better salary and projects. I can not stress volunteering enough to spruce up your resume for when are you ready to leave your current company. Short of that, looking for a new job elsewhere is your second best bet. Progressive work experience is always a smart goal.

It will also be hard to negotiate a salary because you're stating upfront how little you make which may also make them think you don't have the proper experience. I'm also not sure how long you were at your last company, so keep in mind how you will explain the 3-months on your resume. If you say it's for the money, it looks bad.

Aside from that, I use it for many reasons, but largely, I want to have my resume online so I can connect with people and have them learn about me should they so desire. Having on-going open discussions as soon as you come aboard helps navigate your role better and negotiate appropriately during your annual review.

This sounds like the generic stuff you put on your resume when you’re just out of college and don’t realize that your resume shouldn’t sound like everyone else’s, and also that everyone in the world is lying when they say they are “goals-oriented.” Melinda | SuperWAHM´s last blog.
