Have you ever had stress at work? How about cooking for a family of 20 (yes, I'm exaggerating)? How about wondering if you'll get the job you applied for in time before your rent is due? Let not your heart be troubled neither let it be afraid (John 14:27). . . Heavenly Father and His beloved, never forgotten son, Jesus Christ (even if you think They may be deliberately silent) They are there for you because They love you. If you have prayed and prayed with all your faith in Them, but no one is answering, don't think They forgot about you---Heavenly Father and Christ are just like us: Human. They do not always have the right answer at the top of Their heads; They need time to ponder about which path is right for YOU. They do not ever want you to stray away from the right direction. They don't want you to stray over a deadly cliff because They love you. So focus on Him, not the storm. . . and you'll be okay.❤ #wordsofadvice #inspiration #motivation

How much is too much negotiation salary?

You have two main objectives before you begin negotiating:

• Understand why you are a valuable candidate for this job.
• Determine the minimum salary you require to do this job.

You’ve probably heard that the key to negotiating is being willing to walk away. Your minimum salary requirement is how you pre-decide when you’re willing to walk away from this salary negotiation. This is also the single most important number you’ll use when negotiating your salary, and it’s your minimum metric for measuring success.

Here are several things you should consider as you determine the absolute minimum salary you’ll accept to do this job:

• Your current salary
• Your market value for this job
• The amount you think you can get
• What people in your target job at your target company are currently making
• How badly do they need you? (0—10)
• How badly do you need this job? (0—10)
• When is your next merit increase at your current job?
• When is your next bonus at your current job?

The nice thing about this list is that there’s value in just thinking about each item. I recommend that you write down your responses, but if you’re not up for that, you should at least take a little time to think about each item. Something may occur to you that will help you find some little bit of leverage you may have otherwise missed.

Let’s take each of these items one by one to understand their significance and how it helps you determine your minimum acceptable salary.

A good range for a counter is between 10% and 20% above their initial offer. On the low end, 10% is enough to make a counter worthwhile, but not enough to cause anyone any heartburn.

So how would you do that? A step-by-step method to determine the right counteroffer for your specific situation.

Quick poll:

A: Do you want to risk your chances with a company that is genuinely interested in your financial well-being?

B: You don't want to risk your chances with a company that is genuinely interested in your financial well-being?

I'm telling you the truth...(Don't miss reading this.)

There's no doubt in anyone's mind that Jordan was great on the court, and practically unstoppable. However, Jordan knew one thing in the ultimate "Game of Life" was that...He couldn't win the game by himself.

So, what did he do? He "formed a team, [to] forge a win" and went on to become one of the Greatest of All-Time (GOAT), without question.

HOW CAN YOU WIN IN THE GAME OF LIFE?

1. Form your team of (5-7) persons who wants to win.

2. Decide what you all want to do collectively.

3. Jot it down on a piece of paper as a simple draft and task.

4. Schedule your ZOOM meeting for discussion and planning.

If you want to send me an invitation to the ZOOM meeting you can. The thing is, you have to get the ball off the floor and into the air, if you want to score and win in the game of life.

Like Jordan...that's how your form your team, [to] forge your win.

I Believe You Can...!

be flexible in your expectations as a teacher. Teaching, as a job, is going through radical changes. Before your interview, make sure you read up on the district's historical background in educational successes and weaknesses. What kinds of programs does the school or district offer? What are they best known for? How do you see yourself fitting into this district?
Then, be aware of changes in the law, expectations of the school site principles in the school district and the expectations of district mentors. Once you are hired, follow their directions because they are seasoned professionals who have experience in the field you have applied for. Also, take time to meet with teachers, in and out of your subject area or grade level, and ask if you can go into their classrooms to observe teacher-student interactions and take notes of the class settings, discipline structure, educational expectations and outcomes. How do the different teachers address the educational standards of both the district and the state? How will you do the same? What kind of discipline and academic standards will you focus on? How do you think you would communicate your plans with both students and parents? Remember that education is not just about your classroom, but also school- and district-wide. How do you plan to be a team player? Lastly, Good Luck! # #wordsofadvice #motivation #inspiration #education
