Three failed negotiation architypes I see every day: 1. The nickel and dimer. This employee lost their favorite package of floss during a trip and would like reimbursement, and is also wondering if you subsidize pet dentistry. 2. The scorched earth negotiator: this individual shows up with a zero sum proposition. Either the corporation bends to their demands OR ELSE! And the entire business will certainly crumble without them. 3. The new grad. Fresh out of college they attempt to negotiate mid-career salary ranges for an entry level position for which they have no skills or experience (this was me once ??). Negotiating compensation takes skill and insight. You need the insight to understand when you're providing lots of value (i.e. you have leverage), and the skill to bring this up at the right time, with the right person, in a collaborative fashion.

#JobApplicationTip: One of the most important considerations when applying for a federal position is to know about the job you’re applying for, says Senior Investigator Andrea Velasco with our Office of Labor-Management Standards. That’s because when you take time to research and understand the agency’s mission and the skills required by the job, which are described in the job announcement, you can tailor your resume to the position to help make your relevant skills stand out. Make sure the information on your resume is current, accurate, and free of grammatical and formatting errors. “Even if you haven’t had a similar work experience, think about ways you use those same skills listed in the job announcement – things like planning, analysis, information-gathering – in other parts of your life.” Learn more about Andrea’s career and what it’s like to work in OLMS: https://lnkd.in/eZhp-9Nm

?? I've been curious about this for years. In fact, I still struggle to understand why more young adults don't pursue this path. Maybe influencers making it cool will help? If you can’t access the piece, I pulled some highlights and the broader trends we're seeing with Whitmer Consulting LLC clients. ? Financial: Trade jobs offer lucrative pay without the burden of student loans. Most apprentices also earn while they learn. It's not uncommon for journeymen to hit $100k early in their careers in this market. And that's before the enormous value in the fringe benefits. ? Community: Union membership in the trades is a community, where there's advocacy for workers’ rights and opportunities for continuous advancement. ? Work-life balance: Trade jobs often come with flexible hours and the ability to maintain a healthy work-life balance. ? Empowerment: Skilled trades create paths to becoming your own boss.

Austin ranks in the top 5 in cities where new/recent college graduates are getting hired the most! A recent study by ADP identified Austin along with 3 other sun belt cities (Raleigh, Charlotte, and Atlanta) as one of the top 5 best places for recent college graduates to get hired. This attracts young people from all over the country to Austin and the rest of the sun belt. This helps give Austin real estate a great future outlook as these young people advance in their careers and start buying homes, continuing the rising demand in the area. #AustinTexas #Growth #20s #Texas #RealEstate #AustinRealEstate https://lnkd.in/e_SFh_4u

There's a lot of talk about the state of Gen Z mentally, emotionally and professionally. Certainly, there's good evidence that this generation may not be prepared...or even suited...for corporate jobs. Consider the stat that Mike Kostyo shared in his #fridayfive last week, that 26% of Gen Z applicants bring their parents to job interviews. Of, that over 50% have trouble making eye-contact with interviewers. It's true, those stats are concerning. Balance those, however, with this article from The Wall Street Journal with plenty of supporting evidence that Gen Z is turning into a toolbelt generation - https://lnkd.in/ew-vcRQx. There's plenty of evidence that Gen Z is turning to technical careers for a host of reasons, and promoting those choices on social media which may simply serve to spur an even greater surge in vocational school applications. From a food point of view, why does this matter. While it's hard to say specifically how this type of a professional shift may impact consumer needs and demands specific to foodservice, there will undoubtedly be changes. Consider how working hours will change if a greater share of this generation is employed in the trades...or how incomes and income growth will shift. These careers may change the type of solutions required including shifting convenience, at home solutions, and daypart availability. Often, trends we read about may seem disconnected from the food industry but, inevitably, shifts well beyond flavors, ingredients, cuisines and formats will ultimately drive trends in these areas. At Menu Matters LLC, we're here to help clients connect all of these dots to be better prepared for changes in the short and long-term. #innovation #genz #trends2024 #consumerbehavior #consumerinsights #foodandbeverageindustry #foodservice #trades
