What to Do for a Job Offer with Less Paid Salary
It’s extremmly tough to find a job in global economic crisis. Job hunters are so desperate for back to work. That’s why more battered businesses are giving new hires less money than they made in their last job. Some employers simply take advantage of the current job market condition and offer unreasonably low salaries. They easily blame the bad recession and know someone will take it. As the downturn deepens, an increasing number of job seekers will find themselves getting lower-paying offers.
If that happens to you, luckily get a job offer but the paycheck is much slimmer, what can you do? Here are some recommendations:
1. Don’t reject immediately
The salary is so ridiculous. You may feel insulated, But this has nothing to do with how talented and well-respected you are and how much you deserve. If you are out of job, it’s better than nothing. However, don’t just accept it either…
2. Make a counter-offer
You should mount a careful counterattack, experts recommend. You could improve your chances of winning a satisfactory compromise, with tradeoffs ranging from a faster pay review to extra perquisites.
3. Don’t be desperate
Don’t look so desperate during the communication with potential employers, - phone conversion, interview, negoiation, etc. Don’t make them feel they can take advantage of your situation no matter how badly you need a job. Instead, show your strength, confidence, and quality.
4. Do research
Arm yourself with data about the going rate for your position by trolling Web sites such as www.Salary.com, indeed.com/salary, salaryexpert.com and Glassdoor.com. do it before the job interview. You’ll have a sense whether or not it is a decent offer in current job market.
5. Bargain for alternative rewards
Some job hunters weighing lower offers bargain for alternative rewards, such as flexible hours, extra vacation, special training or a gym membership. Not everyone can long survive on a shrunken paycheck, however.
6. Consider long-term career path
It’s a good idea to assess the long-term career impact of toiling for less. Younger individuals, for instance, might get a valuable opportunity to build their résumés.
7. Take it and keep looking
If you have to accept the offer with unsatisfied salary, keep looking for better opportunities. Sooner or later you’ll get a better one. Then there is a good reason to depart.
Facing New Reality with Job-loss strategies
The credit crunch, the stock market freefall, the staggering toll of home foreclosures and job losses: The economic crisis that struck in 2008 has left no one untouched. Seemingly overnight, the financial landscape has undergone seismic changes that have opened up serious questions that career professionals have to face: Is my job safe? Is my family at risk? What can I do if I lose my job? Here I found some great answers and solutions from Suze Orman, the nation’s go-to expert on financial matters.
In her new book, Suze Orman’s 2009 Action Plan (Spiegel & Grau; on sale: December 30, 2008; $9.99), Suze delivers honest, straightforward guidance that will help you adapt to the new economic reality of today and place you on the path to financial security in the years ahead. She discusses what safeguards should be put in place, appropriate actions to take, costly mistakes to avoid and even opportunities to be had so that you are protected during the downturns and prepared to prosper when things take a turn for the better. The following is what she has to say about job-loss strategies.
Your job is at risk. This has nothing to do with how talented and well-respected you are, or the fact that your past three reviews have bee n gold star. You are at risk for reasons that have nothing to do with you. The double whammy of the credit crisis and an economic recession increases the likelihood that businesses will be forced to cut back on costs, and that could mean reducing staff. In this environment, just hoping you will be spared is not the right action. You must take active steps today to make sure your family is safe no matt er what happens jobwise in 2009. That means making sure you have savings to pay the bills instead of running up credit card debt or raiding your retirement accounts. It also means having health insurance no matter what and a game plan for landing your next job.
It’s important to understand that even if the credit crisis hadn’t occurred, 2009 was shaping up to be a tough year for the economy. Our economy is cyclical in nature, — there are periods of strong growth and periods of slower growth. Slowdowns are always part of the equation. There is no avoiding them altogether; rather, the goal is that when they do hit, it is with a soft punch rather than a knockout.
In an economist’s perfect world, what we experience is an orderly winding down from a period of faster growth to slower growth that soon transitions into a new period of even stronger growth. But sometimes real life is less than ideal. If instead the economy slows down with a thud—known, in fact, as a hard landing — we can find ourselves in a recession: a period where the economy doesn’t just shift to slower growth, it actually contracts. When that happens, job losses can be very high as companies cut positions to reduce costs.
The continuing problems caused by the credit crisis appear to have ruined our chances of a soft landing in 2009. Unless banks start lending again, companies that were already girding for a slowdown in business are going to be in even bigger trouble. Every business, from the 10-person small company to General Electric, relies on credit.
Short-term credit helps businesses pay the bills and keeps supplies flowing while waiting for clients to pay their bills, as well as enabling firms to finance longer-term expansion projects. Longterm credit is another vital way businesses borrow
to grow. If you want to build a new plant or expand your business line, you need money to pay for your expansion before you can expect to earn any money from that new business. When businesses can’t borrow money it greatly reduces their ability to expand. Without short-term or longterm credit, a business is going to find it doubly tough to get through the economic slowdown.
I am not saying we are guaranteed to have a deep and hard landing in 2009. But it is definitely a possibility if businesses can’t get credit. And let’s face it: 2009 is not going to be a great year for consumer spending; that’s driven much of our economic growth in past years, but you and I both know that you are focusing on spending less and saving more in 2009.
What I do know for sure is that in times like these, my saying “hope for the best, prepare for the worst” could not be more apt. You can’t keep the bad times from happening, but you can keep them from decimating your financial security. There are actions you need to take now to make sure that no matter what happens “out there” this year, your family will be protected.
What you need to do in 2009
- Build a substantial savings account today so you will be okay if you are laid off.
- Do not—repeat, do not—go without health insurance.
- Shop for private health insurance if you are laid off; it is often less expensive than COBRA.
- Purchase an affordable term life insurance policy if anyone is dependent on your income.
- Make sure you have all your estate-planning documents in order.

Energizing Your IT Resume by Over 100 Action Words
Many IT professionals don’t have perfect writing skills on professional level. It’s just fine if you don’t. That doesn’t mean you have to depend on professional resume writers to craft your resume. No matter what level of writing skills you are, by following certain rules, you can craft high impact IT resumes to optimize your marketability.
One of the important rules is to use action words. Action words empower your resume by increasing your creditability. When you describe your skills and experience as a past action, it sounds more like a true story, — something really happened, thus your self-claimed experience gets transformed into proven experience, that makes your qualification more creditable and trustable. Resumes packed with tons of actions words always deliver high persuading power.
To make your IT resume action-oriented, write to describe your knowledge, skills, and experience by starting with a strong action word. Especially when explaining your previous works and experience, you should make everything you did a past action, which tells everyone, you did it. For instance, instead of saying “my responsibilities include database design and application development”, present it as:
• Designed logical and physical database on IBM DB2 Universal Database Server for enterprise-wide data management.
• Developed a web-based application for over 1000 users to report contract funding status in 10 western states.
Here you can see, the key to make your statement a high impact is to:
- Use strong action words — designed, developed.
- Make it specific — logical/physical, IBM DB2, web-based, contract funding status, etc.
- Empathize scope, make it sound like an important task — enterprise-wide, over 1000 users, 10 states.
Also, always use a bullet for one sentence. The sentence should be as short as possible and packed with all important information specific to the action. That gives you best chance to draw recruiters’ attention.
In this ebook, over 100 action verbs are specifically selected for empowering IT resumes. Each word comes with an example sentence to describe an IT related activity. Study these verbs carefully and pick up the best for your resume.
