This morning when I woke up I found an email from Richard Dukas of Dukas Public Relations, in my inbox. In this short interview with Fox News, Richard discusses the difficulties in finding jobs in this environment and what is the best way to overcome them.
Most interesting I thought was the segment about salary expectation. Don’t expect to make what you were making 6 months ago before you go laid off. Make it clear that you are willing to take a pay-cut but add that you expect to be evaluated in X number of months and make it up to your old salary.
