How much are you worth on the job?
How much are you worth on the job market? Author and speech analyst Richard Zeoli, who wrote “7 Principles of Public Speaking” says there are 3 key steps:
- Communicate Your Capabilities
- Communicate Your Vision – In Terms of Others
- Communicate Your Value to Your Audience
Zeoli states in a recent article, “Self-promotion does not have to be about self-aggrandizement, and it is possible to advance your career while maintaining humility. In fact, not only is it possible but it is also beneficial.”
How do you communicate your value as an employee to your boss or to hiring managers when you go on interviews? Do you have any tips for others?

I am not worth near as much as I am paid. Last year I made nearly a million dollars off other peoples work. I am sure the dems hate that. When I hire someone all I consider is how much they can make me. The best thing about this down turn is people will work so cheap.

Allen Radwill is worth mucho dinero, and I am not simply speaking about myself, for myself or of myself. Too often do we sell ourselves short when it comes to asking for a salary commensurate with experiences. Too many employers only look at the surface while many grind away at the results of a background check, an internet search or rumors from friends.
Let me state that when it comes time to interview or be interviewed, the best I can muster is a direct look into the eyes of my potential employer or employee and hope that they look back, speak directly and with a compassionate clarity and boldness! To find value, integrity and other traits which we all want (as an employer) can be an overwhelming task and expense, only to result in a failed acquisition when it is all said and done.
Allen Radwill never doubts the ability of would be employees when first interviewed, however, building upon the discussion with knowledge and past experiences can quickly lead to finding out what the candidate really knows. So, to sum up, let’s take a lesson from the master of deceit and understand that truth is as good as the teller, trouble is, who is the teller?
