🎯 The #1 mistake in salary negotiation? Accepting too quickly. When you receive an offer, say: "Thank you! I'm excited about this opportunity. I'd like to take some time to review the full package." This buys you time to: → Research market rates → Prepare your counter → Make a strategic decision Never negotiate on the spot.

Resume tip that changed everything: ❌ "Responsible for managing projects" ✅ "Led 12 projects worth $2.3M, delivering 95% on-time" The difference? → Specificity → Numbers → Impact Hiring managers skim for 6 seconds. Make those seconds count.

Interview hack I wish I knew earlier: When they ask "Do you have any questions?" Don't ask about salary (yet). Ask THIS instead: "What would success look like in this role in the first 90 days?" Why it works: → Shows you're already thinking about contributing → Gives you insight into expectations → Demonstrates strategic thinking Save salary questions for later rounds.

85% of jobs are filled through networking. Yet most people apply online and hope for the best. Here's a better approach: 1️⃣ Identify 10 target companies 2️⃣ Find employees on LinkedIn 3️⃣ Send a genuine connection request 4️⃣ Ask for a 15-min chat (not a job) 5️⃣ Build relationship first Referrals get callbacks. Cold applications get ignored.

Red flags in job postings: 🚩 "We're a family here" 🚩 "Must wear many hats" 🚩 "Work hard, play hard" 🚩 "Competitive salary" (no range) 🚩 Posted for 90+ days 🚩 Unrealistic requirements These often signal: → Poor boundaries → Understaffing → Below-market pay → High turnover Trust the red flags.
