On The Job

JUNE 20, 2008

You want a job to increase your knowledge and skills, and make you even more marketable in the future. Negotiate for other compensation/benefits. Recent schooling always looks good on a resume, and many companies cannot offer higher salaries unless you meet certain educational or training requirements. Ask for reviews.

I knew we were going to go back to that city the next year so negotiated with the hotel that if I booked the next event at their venue would they waive the cancellation fee. Negotiation As you saw above, negotiation is possible. Fortunately, they were able to waive it and we only lost our $500 deposit. It is always worth asking.

Musings of a High-Level Executive Assistant

OCTOBER 29, 2010

I also haven’t been growing or learning anything new since Day 1 because my boss won’t give me projects. It’s such a shame that there aren’t more managers who are good mentors that help each individual grow and learn more in their roles. You also have more negotiating leverage for a better salary and projects.

Just like new CEOs do, your first 6 months or year are really about learning about the company, your department, office politics, and how things work. Regardless of your age, seniority, or years of experience you will always find something new to learn. Be open to learning, be open to change, and be grateful, have fun, and be eager.

That depends: if you have good writing skills, you can draft a résumé and then have some people whose proficiency and judgment you trust review and edit it for you until it becomes excellent. If you are not skilled with language, I suggest you seek a professional résumé writer who has performed work for others and brought them success.

If I had more work to do and would be learning along the way, I would stay. It also looks bad on one’s resume. Aside from someone to love, something to do (job, a hobby, or life calling), you also need something to look forward to, and something where you learn and grow that is not too easy but not too hard. Many thanks!

AUGUST 10, 2020

Most candidates have one format of resume that they have created painstakingly, and they end up sending it with every job application. So, if a candidate is applying for a ‘customer service’ job, she needs to highlight in the resume , similar jobs held before or even the ‘service’ or ‘support’ aspect of other jobs held earlier.

I know whenever I’m looking to hire somebody for contract work or to share in projects I’m taking on I always check their website to learn more about them. I quickly learned that I was, to paraphrase your client, doing OK, I guess. I want to see what it looks like and learn more about them. Thanks for sharing.

I am very happy with my position, responsibilities, opportunity for learning and the support from all my colleagues and managers, but there is always the idea of greener pastures and higher salaries lingering in the back of my mind. Translation: Soft skills trump hard skills any day. If you say it's for the money, it looks bad.

I am a professional with excellent communication skills. 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.” Oooooookay. Been there.
