I don’t talk much about money because I grew up without it and I’m still learning how to manage my own. I’m still unlearning and healing from a scarcity mindset that helped me to survive when I lived in poverty. I’m also aware that I’m in a very privileged position compared with the many folks who’ve lost their jobs in the wave of tech layoffs over the past year. But I’ve been talking with my girlfriend, who has been interviewing for jobs lately, and let me say this, women and AFAB folk: I’ve never, not once, heard a man go through the mental and emotional contortions that we do over communicating a target salary while on a job search. Even when the employer publishes the salary range, we squirm: dare we ask for the upper end of the range if the range seems lower than it should? If you’re interviewing for a job and you dread telling the interviewer what your target salary is out of fear that you’ll be disqualified (or even laughed at) for asking for too much…you’ve likely been taught to undervalue your work. You’ve also likely been taught that a prospective employer holds power over your sense of worth. This is *especially* true in fields where women make up the majority of the workforce (sideyeing you, nursing and teaching). First thing to unlearn: you’re not “asking” to be paid $X. You’re *telling* the interviewer what you consider to be a reasonable salary for the role described in the job description, and based on other criteria, like cost of living. You’re telling them what you’re willing to leave your current situation for. If they aren’t willing to offer compensation that meets your criteria, you have every right to disqualify them from *your* consideration. Their loss, not yours. Second thing to unlearn: the employer doesn’t hold all the cards, or even most of them. You do. If they’re hiring, it means they have a need that you can potentially fulfill. A need that has significant business impact. You’ve applied because you’re confident you can fulfill it— for the right price. You are there to interview *them* to see if the company meets your expectations for a good employer. Even if you’re currently unemployed, you hold the cards because it’s your talent, experience and time that’s up for grabs to the right employer. It may feel like any opportunity is better than your current situation. It may feel positively dispiriting to see application after application go unanswered or screening interviews go nowhere. But non-men friends, I promise you that your salary expectations are not what’s getting in the way. Any hiring manager can tell you: most men confidently provide much higher target salaries than their non-men counterparts — and they still stay in the running. Let’s stop acting like someone is doing us a favor by paying a reasonable wage for our work.

Note to recent grads.; With more experience in the workforce, one soon realizes that there are 2 types of employers: 1.) ready for the E-M-P-L-O-Y-E-E to tell them what to do, or 2.) NOT ready. There are a lot of '2's that will n-e-v-e-r grow their workforce (& company) to '1's. Don't waste your time at those.

Career Services Provider & Facilitator | Emphasis in Military Transition, Veteran & Spouse Employment | Someone who never forgets the "why" of what I do
The white-collar hiring slowdown is real, affecting not just recent college grads but anyone breaking into a new field and those laid off seeking new roles amongst others. It can be a tough job market, as the article below from MSN outlines. I have seen this on a personal level with my own son's job search journey for a software developer role. He graduated in Dec 2023 with a computer science degree and has been working daily since to find a role in the field, while continuing to educate himself and work on projects to stay sharp. Like those in the article though, he had to take a role in another area while he continues pursuing his dream. How do you navigate this and stay motivated? I would love to hear your thoughts below. For my son, what do I tell him and the participants I work with... 💡Stay adaptable, embrace change, and be open to new opportunities. Consider industries that may not be your first choice but can provide valuable experience and skills. Consider complementary roles that you can use as you develop and grow, entry-level roles that will get you a foot in the door of target companies (if those companies have a reputation of internal growth). 💡 Continue learning and continue to develop your skills. Invest in yourself through online courses, certifications, and workshops. Platforms like Coursera, Udemy, and LinkedIn Learning offer great resources. Keep on top of trends in your field, etc. 💡Leverage LinkedIn and other professional networks to connect with industry professionals. Attend virtual events, webinars, and join industry groups to expand your connections. Don't be afraid to ask someone for an informational interview, the worst they can do is say no. You're no worse off for that. Ensure you're engaging on LinkedIn, don't just create a profile and let it sit, that does nothing for you! Engage with a future mindset...talk about the roles, industry you are targeting! Talk about projects and learning you are doing in that direction! Be intentional about connecting with those in your role/industry of interest....it makes a difference. and don't forget above all to TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF.... stress management techniques, stepping out and away, giving yourself set time limits you will work on your job search a day etc. ... job searching is so much a job in itself, remember to give yourself a day off on occasion. My best to you all. #jobsearchtips #mssa #jobsearching #jobsearch #careerdevelopment #careerservices #career https://lnkd.in/g3fDqUvY

Hi LinkedIn network! Times are difficult right now, many of us are going through personal and professional challenges and it may feel like it's not a good time for new beginnings, updates or exciting news, considering the state of the World. I and Dmitry Kudryavtsev started to work on our first book together a few months ago during our sabbatical trip. We were ready to launch for a few weeks now, but we were waiting for "the right time". The truth is - there will never be a right time for anything in life. We truly believe that even during hardships and, specifically, challenging periods politically/financially we have to stay strong, share knowledge and bring back to our communities. We truly believe that our book can bring lots of value to technical specialists in their job search. As we see - there are still many people affected by layoffs and recession looking for their next roles. This book is a complete blueprint that will take you from defining your next role in tech, all the way to negotiating your employment offer. This book is the perfect guide for all levels of seniority. No matter if you are just starting in tech, or it's your fifth job search—there is something in this book for you. We are selling the first few copies at a special price, so make sure to secure yours ASAP. This book contains 25 years of experience in total of Senior Software Engineer, Solopreneur and Tech Mentor (Dmitry Kudryavtsev) and Senior Talent Acquisition Specialist, Technical/Executive Recruiter, and Career Coach (Me). Here is the purchase link with more information and F.A.Q.: https://lnkd.in/eFSbDvgW

Have you heard of the 4/5, 6/10 rule? 🐇🐸🦘 Recruiters often use this as a way of filtering candidates based on their tenure. More than four companies in five years, or six in ten, is a red flag! This week on the Merit blog, we discuss job hopping -- a practice that is often linked to the high salaries and great options offered in tech. Read on to learn about the pros and cons of job hopping, and how to de-risk your approach to quick changes in your career. https://lnkd.in/emdq6_fS #techcareers #careertransition #jobhopping

Didn't include an application deadline on your opportunity? It's one of the major turn-offs for young people. Here's why 👇 -------------------- It often instigates one of two behaviours that aren't acting in your favour: 1. I'll save it for later... then I'll forget about it. 🫥 With no deadline, there's no sense of urgency. Therefore young people often save these opportunities for later because they think they have time to go back to it. Then they forget about the opportunity. If they eventually remember it, it's likely the opportunity has disappeared before they’ve managed to apply. 2. No date = is it out of date? 🤔 They aren't sure if the opportunity is still live or available. We've heard countless anecdotes of young people saying that no deadline means they don't know if it's an old opportunity someone forgot to take down. So rather than waste their time applying, they hedge their bets on other opportunities that they can 100% be sure are definitely still available. -------------------- What's the lesson here? 🚨 Make sure you include an application deadline on your opportunity! 🚨 #entrylevel #earlycareers #creativecareers #recruitment #opportunity #jobsearch #marketing #employerbrand #hr #recruitmenttips

I'm seeing a lot of posts on Linkedin these days saying "entry level starts at 0." I feel very conflicted about this messaging. On the one hand, the frustration of the "experience catch-22" is totally debilitating. A lot of talented folks can't get into the jobs they want because they lack the experience, even for "entry-level" positions. This is patently ridiculous, and the resulting pain is very real and valid. But I'm worried these posts are cultivating an expectation that probably doesn't mesh with reality, and I fear the reality is this: Entry-level starts at what the market will bear. We all must adjust our expectations accordingly 😣 . The market cannot be shamed into ignoring the realities of supply and demand. "Then don't call the position entry-level," I hear you say. Also a fair complaint, but companies can call positions whatever they want and offer commensurate pay, regardless of title/prereqs/etc, so long as there are qualified people out there willing to take those positions. All I'm really trying to say is that "asking companies to 'stop-it' " probably isn't going to help anyone. More fruitful and empowering, I think, to focus inward on what we can do ourselves, rather than asking the market to stop being what it is.
