Send us Fan Mail Are You Experiencing Job Offer Turn Downs Due to Salary? There is a cost to each job vacancy in any business. And while there may be a short-term reprieve of that monthly salary expense, the hidden costs start chipping away at both the P&L and your current staff.

Like a sports team top ranked on Friday ends up l...

To date, I have not found a single person that accepted a counter offer when...

Send us Fan Mail Sometimes you find opportunity, sometimes opportunity finds you. This holds true when it comes to job opportunities, too. Sometimes you find the job you are looking for, other times it finds you by way of a headhunter or an industry connection that reaches out to you. But how do you evaluate it? The money? What? I see many make the money mistakes – saying “no” without full understanding the “money” and saying “yes” because the job paid more than another. Co...
