Here’s a myth buster.?

Expected salary is ridiculous.

Budgeted salary…sillier still.

Just like advertised salary, unadvertised salary, and the-salary-we-hope-to-pay salary.

How do I know this?

Let’s see...

That’s…let me carry the…wait, is that grouping, carrying, or borrowing now?

Either way, roughly 750 more.

Can we agree on over 1,000 data points (even though it’s over 1,300)?

What should YOU do instead of focusing on these expectations when you enter an interview process as a job candidate?

THURSDAY: LIVE INTERVIEW AT OFFICE HOURS!

My friend and co-founder of The Leadership Podcast, Jim Vaselopulos, recently released a new book called Clarity: Business Wisdom to Work Less and Achieve More.

(The eBook might still be on sale for $0.99. Check Amazon.)

If you feel like you’re in reactive mode all the time or not sure what your next best professional move should be or are running a business or unit that isn’t growing or want to become a better leader, you’ll certainly get a lot of value from Clarity.

The book is about helping you with your career, agency, and direction all wrapped fantastically in a host of stories and case studies.

I absolutely loved it and I hope you will too.

Thursday, Jim is joining me at Live Office Hours to discuss some concepts in the book.?

Hope you can join us!
