What Employers Want to Learn From Reference Checks

How To Take On More Responsibility At Work
Taking on more responsibility at work can be a tricky endeavor. If you are feeling underutilized or could use a more challenging project, it certainly can make for a dull day at work. On the other hand, you don’t want to appear like you are an expendable employee who is not actively contributing to the organization. What approach should you take if you’d like to increase your workload and possibly speed up the path to promotion, but do not want to portray yourself in a negative light?
Successfully Negotiate Your Salary
You’ve blazed through the first and second interview rounds and have been presented with a job offer. That’s great, but what happens if the initial offer is lower than you were prepared to accept?

Others believe they should feel lucky to even have a job offer in an economy this rough. In all cases, if you believe that your experience and skills demand a higher salary than what was offered, take care to proceed with your salary negotiations the right way.
