Once a job offer is made, a lot of people think they have no basis for negotiating but they would be surprised, with the right approach, that they can often secure compensation packages beyond what they thought was possible. A key point to remember is that negotiating more at the start of a job can turn into a substantial amount of increased earnings over the course of several years. Once people achieve an increased level of earnings, they tend to maintain that difference over where they were for several years.

The negotiation process we recommend at ITS is easy to use. Based on our thousands of negotiations, it was carefully developed to be easy to use. It is based on common sense and the art of soft selling, so that you get what you want without offending the employer in any way.

There are five key areas you want to consider:

(1)   The initial offer, can you get it increased by 10% to 30%;

(2)   The responsibilities, can you expand them to a larger job that would pay more;

(3)   A signing bonus, which can be 10% to 30% of the salary in some cases;

(4)   The benefits, is the company willing to extend;

(5)   Stock options, whether they are available, and under what terms.

ITS gives job hunter’s guidance in each of those areas. There is also a lot of information on salary surveys to give you current information on which to base negotiations, and a cost-of-living comparison of various areas for those who are relocating. Senior level job seekers will be especially interested in the discussion of the various types of stock options and grants, exit strategies and severance agreements, and a dozen or so other benefits that can be a significant part of the total compensation package.

ITS offers Personal Marketing Services that goes far beyond Outplacement Career counseling. ITS uses its own unique technology to give job seekers access to as much as 85% of the advertised openings, including those from newspapers, recruiter openings, job boards, employer sites, and trade magazines. It also provides access to the unadvertised job market among employers, recruiters and growth companies.

When we think of TV, we most often think of the shows and movies we watch. And when we think about TV Channels, we generally consider them to be the biggest spenders on TV production – after all, they have to pay for television shows to get produced or else produce TV shows themselves. But it’s actually advertisers that spend the most on production – not TV channels. That’s why this Florida video company is the largest employer of corporate television producers. Not only do ads outnumber TV shows and take about 10 times longer to make on a production time to screen time basis, but consider that for every ad on TV about 2 more have been made but not used by the advertising company. This means that corporate ad production for television is incredibly competitive and that it makes sense to get only the best name in production to make your company’s ad.

What is the point of SEO if the content on the site is bad. I read something about this recently and it made perfect sense. It’s not always the most difficult thing to figure out when you have made a simple situation complicated. If a person cannot navigate through a site as a result of lack of proper planning from the architect, then how can they expect conversion to occur?

Design should be crisp and appealing, refreshing and inviting, not cluttered, sloppy, diffused or disheveled. The whole point of embracing the visitor is to share something useful. This post really summarized the whole search engine and website love affair well. Now, if I could only make my blog a bit more appealing. Perhaps a bit of that SEO design mojo could help me get some traffic, but I think I may in fact be to basic to oblige.
