Networking

You may have heard the old adage, "It's not what you know. It's who you know." While it's important to develop the knowledge and skills to do your job well, the relationships that you build can also play a key role in helping you navigate your career.

Salary negotiation

It can be uncomfortable to talk about money. For some of us, the prospect of negotiating salary can be downright scary. Yet with some online sites providing information about typical compensation for companies and job types, we have more tools to evaluate the going rate for our skills. Learn strategies to better prepare for conversations about salary.
