I’ve been struggling with applying for jobs recently, it’s hard to find the motivation when my job is fine even though I definitely want to move on, are there any negotiating tips I can add to my arsenal that might give more of a push to start applying?

As you're currently employed, you can incorporate that into your negotiations. If you get close to an offer, you can use the fact that you're in a job to push for more pay, as they'd have to entice you to leave. You could make the case that to make a move you'd need a better position with more interesting work plus higher pay.

That’s true I never saw already having a job as leverage! I guess just because you’re looking doesn’t mean you’re sold.

Negotiating tips for yourself to keep applying, or when you are entertaining a job offer? I would say to have a list of top priorities and reasons for you to apply. Also, you don’t have to push yourself to the brink to do it, just find a routine that works for you.

For expert witnesses/lawyers

I’m a former forensic scientist that left the field several years ago. I recently received a subpoena from a case I worked and suggested to DA to have evidence re-worked by the lab or stipulation. If I am required to testify (as an expert witness), I would need to book a flight, hotel, etc. My question is this: can I ask for my requested hourly rate, travel, and hotel to be covered when speaking with DA or is that “not how this works” as the investigator put it?
