  • How to negotiate your first job's salary so you're not underpaid throughout your career

    How to negotiate your first job's salary so you're not underpaid throughout your career
    Dec 2 2025
    Negotiating a job offer can feel daunting, but it's a crucial step that sets the tone for your financial future. Failing to negotiate your initial salary can have a significant compounding effect, potentially costing you hundreds of thousands of dollars over your career. On today's episode of the From Dorms to Desks Podcast, we discuss why it's essential to do your homework before you even receive an offer. Research industry salary trends for your role, location, and experience level. Understand your "walk-away" number—the minimum you need to cover expenses and meet your goals. When you receive an offer, always take time to review the entire compensation package, not just the base salary. Perks like extra vacation days, remote work options, professional development funds, and better benefits can add significant value. When you're ready to make a counteroffer, express enthusiasm for the role and clearly articulate the value you bring. Focus the conversation on your skills and market value, not your previous salary. Remember, negotiation is a collaborative process, not a confrontation. By approaching it with confidence and preparation, you can secure an offer that truly reflects your worth and sets you up for long-term success. Learn more about your ad choices.

  • What to put onto your resume or CV if you have no experience

    What to put onto your resume or CV if you have no experience
    Nov 18 2025
    Crafting the perfect resume and cover letter is a crucial first step toward landing your dream job. On today's episode of the From Dorms to Desks Podcast, we discuss how a strong resume acts as your personal marketing tool, offering a brief, informative summary of your relevant abilities, education, and experience. It's essential to tailor your resume for each position, using active language and quantifying your accomplishments to highlight your impact. Avoid common mistakes like spelling errors, passive language, and failing to include contact information. For those with limited formal work history, such as students or recent graduates, showcasing academic, volunteer, or personal projects is key. These experiences demonstrate valuable transferable skills and initiative. Your cover letter complements your resume by telling your story, connecting your specific skills to the employer's needs, and expressing genuine interest in the role. Together, these documents should present a consistent, professional, and compelling case for why you are the ideal candidate for an interview. Learn more about your ad choices.
