Be confident and take action when a job opportunity comes around. Don't be afraid to negotiate and counteroffer. This being my first job that I've taken, I was unsure if I should negotiate pay. However, after talking to mentors, family, researching negotiation (Thank you, Levo League) and researching the position, I realized it could not hurt. In the end, I received an increase in my pay.
Once I told my family and friends about the result and me getting a job, they were more excited about me for "asking for more." In the end, I would have been remiss to not make a counteroffer.
My advisor in college said that she's never seen me nervous. Well, I guess I am a good actress, because I was sweating making the phone call!
This college grad is off to work tomorrow!
Thanks for all the well wishes everyone!
