your industry. This allows you to negotiate to your advantage without selling yourself short.

Thinking that employers will be turned off if they mention a number that is too high, some job

candidates will request a salary far below what they deserve. It may be somewhat true, but it

could also make you appear desperate for work.

Treat the world as your classroom. This can help you find a new job in your field or a different

one. Take time to learn all that you can for a better job. Look online to see what sort of online

classes you can take in your free time to help land a better position.

Create a document with your information in it for completing applications. Applications

usually ask you to recall information from the past. Having a quick reference sheet for this

information will be helpful in a pinch. When filling out applications, this will make the task

much easier to complete.

Network with co-workers before you leave your job. It is best to keep everything professional

when dealing with the people that you work with. Whenever you become friends with people,

your relationship becomes much more complicated. This can quickly cause drama, which

with the company.

If you need to find someone to work for you, it's a good idea to have patience. No matter

what your circumstances are, you do not want to rush into hiring someone just so an empty

spot is filled. Making this mistake can result in a great deal of regret and a lot of money

wasted on an employee that provides little benefit to your company.

Dress for success when heading to an interview. Ensure your clothing is appropriate, and

remember the small details, including your hair, nails, face, etc. You will be judged by your

neatness, so make sure you are presentable.

Include social media addresses in your resume. This has become a large part of the culture

of many companies, so it is great to show it off as a skill set.

Be prepared for an unpleasant or surprising question during an interview. Though you may

not have to deal with such a question, be prepared anyhow. Look through your resume to

find any employment gaps, performance improvement plans, or other flaws. Don't

overcompensate for fallow employment periods by exaggerating or lying. Just think of how

you can explain gaps in the best light.

Try to communicate with your boss as much as possible when you have a new job. Many
