If you are planning on getting a new job, learn your worth.
Business relationships have to be mutual. Before one dollar is exchanged for
labor, products or services, understand what both parties are bringing to the
table. There is currency and value in everything. Apply these nuggets when
making employment decisions:
1.
On your resume, be sure to include your
tangibles skills. Are you good at social media marketing? Many companies need
an influencer to expand their brand. Your expertise in these area will impact
your salary.
2.
Do your research on the company. What are their areas
of needs and wants? Visit their website. Learn about the product or services
they provide. Filling that gap is your employment security.
3.
Is this company is publically traded? Did their
stocks go up or down? This is an indication of this company’s future. Who knows
how long will company will be around before you invest.
