What Every Job Seeker Needs to Know About Negotiating Salary Tips for Work and Life with Andrew LaCivita

Are you getting paid what you’re worth?
That was actually a trick question because there’s absolutely no way for you to know exactly what you’re worth.
You’re worth is dependent on what someone else is willing to pay for you at this exact moment in time.
You are like a stock, a house, or anything else whose value is determined by someone else’s desires, needs, challenges, and other factors which you know very little about.
Even though your daily worth is a mystery, there are ways to determine what a potential employer feels you are worth—today.
Wouldn’t you know it? I have a video to help you better understand how to discover this.
Inside, you’ll hear me say funny stuff like, “Salary negotiation is not a transactional event. You do not win a salary negotiation. What you do… is from the time you send a cover letter and a resume or apply online or boss hunt […] from that moment with everything you do and everything you say and everything you don’t do and everything you don’t say until the time you counter their job offer […] that’s the negotiation.”
Gimme 17 minutes and 43 seconds of your life. It’ll be worth it. Pun totally intended.
If you'd like to build a great career and lead a rewarding life, check out some of these other places where I share my teachings:
1. Check out the milewalk Academy, my coaching and training site, for freemiums and premiums.
2. I have hundreds of educational and inspirational videos on my YouTube Channel.
3. Grab any of my three books related to interviewing, hiring, and goal setting. All can be found on my Amazon Author Page.
4. Follow me on Instagram, LinkedIn, Twitter (X), TikTok, Threads, and Facebook.
