There is an overwhelming amount of info out there and people are swamped. However, short pointers may be absorbed better. Each week, once or twice weekly, I will zero in on a specific area of job search, so my tips will encompass everything. A comprehensive offering will include one aspect of categories including cover letters, resumes, interviewing; effective networking and other issues that arise (references, thank you letters, Internet applications, and anything else pertinent).
Good luck job hunters!

  1. HOW IMPORTANT IS A BONUS?

    In certain fields like IT and finance—a bonus is as important as the base salary itself. In light of the fat cat windfalls on Wall Street, it would seem that exorbitant amounts are necessary as rewards or incentives. Make sure you negotiate a certain percentage up front when offered a position, especially in these fields, and in sales, as well. Know exactly what you’re getting. In IT and IT finance, it is not unusual to hear of bonuses that actually double your salary—especially in good years when a firm anticipates making strong profits. Depending on the times and if a firm does well that year, you should try to get as much as possible, twenty percent or more, but ten percent, at the very least.
