Question: How does one negotiate for a job when inquiring about one without having a career? One feels vulnerable after being out of work for a long time or gaps in employment. –K-
Discussing a job when you don’t have experience. First you need to make sure you are feeling confident about yourself when you discuss jobs with a potential employer.
Second, we all have to start somewhere, even if we lack experience so it’s best to be looking for an entry level position. Third and most important, is to make sure you have a good outline of your personal assets so you can talk to an employer about them.
You have to know within yourself what you want to do and get in front of these people ready to show them that you will be a great employee.
