‘Hiring managers expect you to negotiate. Done respectfully, it can both increase your earnings and enhance your relationship.’

‘Even if presented with a good offer, sleep on it. Chances are there is something extra- a sign-on bonus, additional vacation time, flextime- that will benefit you.’

‘There are many perks that put money into your pocket at the end of the month in addition to base salary. Understand which are meaningful to you.’

‘As a Switcher, you may need to take a hit on compensation; however, don’t let that one factor override all the positive gains that come with the career change. Money is the only one piece of the larger career-switch puzzle.’

‘Choosing between two solid offers can be difficult. Consider multiple factors such as your direct boss, longer-term opportunities, and company culture when deciding.’

‘Failure is a learning opportunity that is par for the career-switch course! Get up, dust off, and keep on moving forward.’

‘Branding and networking are ongoing activities for professionals. Career management isn’t an occassional event. Find ways to micro-network and make brand deposits to strengthen your reputation in the market.’

‘Take time to slow down and evaluate how your actions are influencing your career goals. There may be things you can start or stop doing that will have a major impact on your success.’

‘Don’t forget how you got where you are. Keep your eyes open for chances to help others attain career success. None of us are successful without the support of others.’

‘Focus on the value you bring to the job rather than the experience you don’t have (yet!).’

‘Clarity comes through action!’
