You've landed the job! Congratulations!  BUT ... do you accept the offer immediately?  NO!  And I'll tell you why ...

With your skills and experience, the fact that you have been offered the job means that they want you.  When the offer is on the table, you are in the strongest position to negotiate the offer.

Of course you can accept the offer as it stands but it's better to take time to go over the contract with a fine tooth comb and ensure that each and every aspect of the offer is what you are happy with.

If there is anything that you are not sure about, then you can go back to your hiring manager or recruiter and ask, "Is there room for negotiation?"

What's the worst thing that could happen?  They may say, "There's no room for negotiation, the offer is as it stands."  That's not so bad is it?  At least you know!

However ... if they say, "What would you like to negotiate?" Then the door is open for discussion!

Listen to this episode of Your Career Podcast and learn what you can do to create a win-win situation between you and your new employer gracefully.

To create the career you’ll love and reach career success faster, reverse engineer your career.

If you’ve ever felt unsure about what you need to be successful in your career it’s probably because you don’t really know which path you want your career to follow, and you’re unclear of how far you want to take your career.

Here are the six steps to develop a strategy for your future career success - listen to the full episode for details on how to implement these steps:

1. Get clear on what you really want

2. Conduct your research – find your dream job/s online

3. Analyse the job descriptions

4. Conduct a gap analysis

5. Come up with a strategy to overcome the gaps

6. Find a mentor or career coach

Reverse engineering your career does not have to be difficult.  You certainly don’t need an engineering degree to reverse engineer your career!

Take time to define your career aspirations, conduct research and analysis and be honest about where the gaps are.  To hasten your career progression in the direction you desire, overcome those gaps and you will be in a strong position to progress step-by-step in the right direction.

LinkedIn Audio Events have arrived in Australia!

Yes, it’s time to get excited about LINKEDIN AUDIO EVENTS. Yes, they are finally here in Australia after over 6 months of beta-testing in the US.

Why should we be excited? LinkedIn Audio is like podcasting meets TALK-BACK RADIO.  You can join in the conversation LIVE, ask any questions or raise a topic you’d like to discuss.  ON THE SPOT. 

Yes, I know there’s already Clubhouse and Twitter Spaces, but LinkedIn Audio Events are a little different.

At this point in time LinkedIn does not allow recording of the live audio sessions so there are no replays and you must attend 'live'.

Last week I was joined by Twitter Spaces Guru, Keith Keller, and LinkedIn Audio Beta tester, Kevin D Turner to discuss LinkedIn Audio vs Clubhouse vs Twitter Spaces for your career. 

LinkedIn Audio is a new feature that LinkedIn has been rolling out country by country and at last it’s in Australia!  

Many people have been asking me how to find out if they have this new feature so let’s find out if have it first and then I'll explain the key benefits of the LinkedIn Audio platform.
