Evaluate Your Job Offer

A job offer ? – Congratulations! You’re probably excited, but don’t let your excitement get in the way of evaluating the offer objectively.  Make sure that you fully understand the terms being offered to you before you accept it.

You seldom have the luxury of deciding on multiple offers.  Any offer usually requests a reply in just a few days. What other interviews do you have outstanding? Might you make a follow up call to determine the decision time-frame? Be sure to observe the offers specified deadline.

For five points to consider in accepting an offer see the entire article here.

Pivot Into a New Career

Are you stuck and asking yourself, “What’s next?” 

A career pivot is “doubling down on what is working, to make a purposeful shift in a new, related direction.” Pivoting, in this sense, is “an intentional, methodical process for nimbly navigating career changes.”

Everyone—regardless of age, career stage or bank account balance—can use the pivot method to get unstuck from a career plateau and get better at adapting to change.
