<![CDATA[You take a one-sided look at this issue, I think. It's true that you might bring a lot to a company. You are undoubtedly a talented person and would improve the business of the company. However, a lot of other people are talented, too. Typically, a business has a good idea of how much value a person of a certain job description adds to a company. They offer slightly less than this amount of money as a starting wage, and award promotions if you prove to exceed their expectations. <br />
If you ask for too much off the bat, remember that there are other applicants who are humbler and willing to work a starting wage for six months or so in order to prove their skills. <br />

If I want gardening done and a gardener I like gives me an estimate, I might think his estimate is too high. If he won't bargain down, I'll find a different gardener or do the work myself.<a href="http://www.pheedo.com/click.phdo?x=&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.bizcovering.com%2FEmployment%2FSelling-Yourself-Short.73117%23comment112026"><img src="http://www.pheedo.com/img.phdo?x=&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.bizcovering.com%2FEmployment%2FSelling-Yourself-Short.73117%23comment112026" border="0"/></a>]]></description>

<![CDATA[Excellent article. We have each sold ourselves too short.

<![CDATA[This is a great article to review as we prepare for the new year. At some point one has to take a leap of faith.  Right now I have a standard of income that I am looking for, and that has left me unemployed for longer than I want. BUT, I am worth it! Positive, faith-filled thoughts, research and desire have brought me to the place of provoking the heavenlies to back me up. My expectancy is high and I believe that I shall have what I say.<a href="http://www.pheedo.com/click.phdo?x=&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.bizcovering.com%2FEmployment%2FSelling-Yourself-Short.73117%23comment88868"><img src="http://www.pheedo.com/img.phdo?x=&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.bizcovering.com%2FEmployment%2FSelling-Yourself-Short.73117%23comment88868" border="0"/></a>]]></description>

<![CDATA[Thanks for provoking us to think.  We must value ourselves enough to negotiate for our worth where others are concerned.<a href="http://www.pheedo.com/click.phdo?x=&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.bizcovering.com%2FEmployment%2FSelling-Yourself-Short.73117%23comment86019"><img src="http://www.pheedo.com/img.phdo?x=&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.bizcovering.com%2FEmployment%2FSelling-Yourself-Short.73117%23comment86019" border="0"/></a>]]></description>

<![CDATA[This article hits the nail on the head!  If we know the potential and skills we can produce why do we sell ourselves short?  I am a prime example of the "graduate" with no job because employers want to overwork me and under pay me.  I refuse to continue this cycle!  Self-employment is the way to go.  <br />

Thanks D.

<![CDATA[Excellent article! We must go in with the decision to not sell ourselves short or compromise our talents, skills and abilities. These are our assets that we are bringing to the table. Remember the company that you are interviewing with may not qualify for what you have to offer!<a href="http://www.pheedo.com/click.phdo?x=&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.bizcovering.com%2FEmployment%2FSelling-Yourself-Short.73117%23comment83296"><img src="http://www.pheedo.com/img.phdo?x=&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.bizcovering.com%2FEmployment%2FSelling-Yourself-Short.73117%23comment83296" border="0"/></a>]]></description>

<![CDATA[Great article. Yes, I sell myself short all of the time for survival. When you get a job with low pay, you feel that you have to stay there because it's the same everywhere, unless you move out of town. Some employers tell you that if you leave the job, you can't go back. So really you have to think things through.<a href="http://www.pheedo.com/click.phdo?x=&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.bizcovering.com%2FEmployment%2FSelling-Yourself-Short.73117%23comment83160"><img src="http://www.pheedo.com/img.phdo?x=&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.bizcovering.com%2FEmployment%2FSelling-Yourself-Short.73117%23comment83160" border="0"/></a>]]></description>
