Job Search - What NOT to Compromise
When going through a job transition, there are many things to sort out. The biggest pitfall I’ve seen across the 1,500+ clients I have helped, is that people begin the job search underselling their skills and abilities. This happens because people are very close to their own situation and they have an extremely hard time articulating their value to employers.
This leads to a longer job search, and eventually people are more likely to “settle” for anything. You may need to compromise on some things like office commute time, company size, or company travel time. But, don’t compromise on the type of job you take. And, if at all possible, don’t compromise on a salary that does not meet your skill-sets for your geographic market.
Don’t take a lesser job for lesser pay. If you’re not getting quality interview opportunities, then take a closer look at your job search plan, because there is a flaw somewhere that is holding you back.
You’re Worth More™.
