I attended the virtual Conference for Women this month and took away a lot of great insights that apply to anyone!  Negotiations. When you consider what you really want out of a job (e.g., more money, more respect), is your current company able to give that to you? In other words, what’s the context? It may have nothing to do with your worth, so don't sell yourself short.  Obtain 3 objective data points when doing market salary research. Use a site like Glassdoor, ask friends what they make, or find someone who works for a competitor and try to find out what they ..read more

Many people ask us how to find openings on the boards of nonprofits or for-profit companies. There are two ways to go about it: 1) cultivate your network over time and/or 2) search online or become a member of a board-focused association.

Phew, step one is done. You're already well on your way. So what's the interview for? Sure, the employer will want to confirm that you know your stuff. But the main thing is they want to know if you're someone who is going to be pleasant and easy to work with. That is, can you get along with the boss and the team?  But of course you ..read more

By the summer of 2015, Career Valet – my first company – had been growing each year since I started in 2012. I’d been asked by several people over the years if I had considered starting a recruiting business for U.S. military and foreign service (diplomat) spouses like me, and I thought, this is a SIGN! Everyone sees this need, and I can fill it and tackle the massive problem of spouse unemployment, which was over 28%. And even better, I found someone who wanted to tackle it with me! We called it ServingTalent and went all in. Everyone was excited. I felt elated as I drove my kids to school, t ..read more
