The drama of losing a job

[NightskyeB4Dawn]

I do have a Teams interview with Baptist Health in Lexington for an Admin position at their hospital today at 1100

I always like to have options.

Never sell yourself short.

It took me years to find out that no one is going to pay you more than what “you” think you are worth. 

I spent decades accepting poorly paid jobs because I thought I was stuck having to accept the pay they were offering.

The first time I bucked at the salary I was being offered, was because I didn’t really want the job anyway. So when they told me what they were offering, I told them, “thank you for the consideration but that I could not accept the position”.

They came back to me and asked me what I would be willing to work for. I told them that how much they valued me and the position was a bigger determining factor than how much I thought the job was worth. I told them to make an offer that showed me what they thought I was worth.

Needless to say, they made me an offer I could not refuse. I just wish I had known my worth years earlier.
