The advice is not wrong necessarily, but isn't it sort of self explanatory?
And I have no idea if you arr "legally obligated" to give your name or not, but refusing to do so will not help the interview prices at all. It will set a bad tone immediately. Personally I would not want to do that. Only an opinion.

I've had to cut back on my past experience to just the last 10 years, as I don't want to scare them off with my age. I do decorate my resume with certifications, but no cartoons as of yet...

If you want to be paid your social security number IS required. Identity verification is part of many hiring processes. So it seems as if age does come into the picture. I can't imagine that it is not at least part of the process to give age. I don't see the point in not giving it to tell the truth, much less refusing to do so.

On the flip side employers seem to be giving increased value to experience.
Maybe they're finding too many young people with degrees who can't actually DO anything. Maybe.
If you need fear to enforce your beliefs, then your beliefs are worthless.

What is on the rise is a demand for cheap labour. If you are in a country that demands high wages, then business will either move where there is cheap labour or get cheap labor moved in. So forget the job and start a business made in China.
If there is a single truth about Magic, it is that nothing on earth so efficiently evades it.

It's not about age or cheap labor. I would hire in a heartbeat someone who I thought would earn me more than they cost me. If you want to get a job or get a job raise, just prove you are worth more than you cost.

In what fraction of a heartbeat would a businessman hire somebody to do the same job in China for a fraction of the price to earn himself a fraction more?

The best way to get a raise is to first prove you are worth it by doing more than you are getting paid to do.
Most don’t give raises on a promise that you will do better. Raises are based on past performance, not on what you 'may' do. In hiring, there is a thing called having too much experience; those who have been doing the same thing over and over for years can be set in their ways and not open to new ideas or change. Tom

Improving your situation starts with improving yourself. If you want a pay RAISE, then you might want to know the difference between get a rise out of your employer and getting a raise on your paycheck. Even if English is not your native language, this error is easily checked before writing a blog post with an obvious error. Employers tend to like employees who hold themselves to high standards that said employees regularly achieve and surpass.

English is his native language. I would think that he is from the UK (after all, all of the prices noted on his website are in pounds sterling). And, in the UK the proper expression is "pay rise." It is what Americans call a "pay raise."
So . . . not an error. Your criticism, however, was. |
