Know your worth, and then ask for it

🙌🏼 Your resume shouldn't be a dry job history. It should be a PITCH that articulates your value. If you re-do your resume with this mindset, think how much easier it will be to ask for what your really worth, and walk away from an opportunity if someone doesn't see it.

A good place to start: check your resume right now and ask yourself , "does this show how I solve problems?" Because that's all value is; someone has a problem, and you're the solution. That's valuable, and you should be paid accordingly.

So what are you?

...On adventure, biraciality, and "Magic Mike" http://sarahcentric.com/blog/2013/9/11/so-what-are-you

So what are you? Adventure is for everyone... and so is Magic Mike. Just ask my friend Kim. She came to the movie because it was the only way we could hang out while she was in town. The town being New York City, of course that's not entirely true. We could have gone to a broadway show, or a coffee cupping, or a tou...

You Are Here They say print is dying, but The Warwick Advertiser is immortal. Right around this time 30 years ago, I was scanning the paper to find out which school bus I was assigned to. By the time I had made my friends on bus "J", The Advertiser was directing us all to Hallowee....

If you're going to have a nervous breakdown, I highly recommend doing it on the subway. http://www.sarahcentric.com/blog/2011/8/3/the-secret-life-of-sarah-jackson.html

sarahcentric - blog - The Secret Life of Sarah Jackson I've been working my face off since I got back, but this week I started a new gig which will require the full-on NYC subway commute. It's a great opportunity, super interesting, and runs for four months so I won't have to hustle for a minute. Buuuuut...

Bad news: Ton of work to do. Good news: I discovered Pinterest this morning, so I'm definitely not going to do it. http://tinyurl.com/6bq72xl

sarahcentric - blog - Put a pin in that Kim introduced me to Pinterest yesterday which was a terrible idea. I have a ton of work to do over the next few weeks. Way too tempting to put that off and just decorate my imaginary home on my virtual pinboard. This WPA tourism poster is currently at the top of my list.

sarahcentric - blog - Freedom Last year at this time, I was declaring my American Independence in New Zealand.

sarahcentric - blog - Noosa These parrots showed up at breakfast for my last day in Noosa. I was lucky enough to become friendly with the staff of the hostel I was staying at, who occasionally feed the wild parrots a little honey. Since we were all saying goodbye, I guess they thought it was one of those special occasions.

Some work to do in Sydney for a bit, then some fun to have in a yet to be determined location.

My new Polynesian boyfriend, Baba.

Love/Hate - sarahcentric The kids from the Highland Sunset Paradise Show in Rarotonga are obviously awesome. I, on the other hand, look like an old colonial white lady who finds the natives’ primitive dancing “ever so charming.” I’m probably being melodramatic, but from the looks of that boy in the front..maybe not.

I cannot say the word "sensibility" unless I'm in a distraction free zone with 100% concentration. If I try to say it all breezy in conversation it comes out like a tongue-twister, "sen-sa-bila-bees." So now you know.

Island time - sarahcentric

(CST) Coconut Savings Time.

Island time - sarahcentric When you visit the Cook Islands, the locals will say that the tendency to walk much slower and to repeatedly forget what day it is means you have shifted into “island time”or “coconut time”. Do not be fooled! Coconut Time is no freaking joke. It is an elaborate bending of the space/time continuum...
