Hey fishbowlers! I just applied for an internal position as a Technical Writer. I currently have 4 years of Business Analyst experience but I’ve only been with my current company less than a year. My boss encouraged me to apply and mentioned how I’d be a great fit. Any tips on how I can ace an interview and compete with any candidates that might have better experience? TIA

I went through two rounds of interviews for
a job that the posting stated $36.66 per
hour (FP&A Analyst)…the company
recruiter had told me in the initial call the
pay could be 32-36 because of the other
benefits. If I do get a job offer what range
should I try for? I was really hoping to get
around the 36-40 but now I feel like they
may try to offer lower than what was
posted. Also there was no range but the
average for this position is upper 70s-90k.
Thanks for any help!

Behavioral patterns dictate where you will be in the future. Positive patterns help you reach that future faster. Negative patterns delay or redirect the future you want for yourself.

You are in control of breaking a negative pattern. When things aren't going your way, there are things you are doing that are contributing to it.

Are you consistently: Working long hours, not communicating, or accepting negativity?

If what you are doing is negative for your standards, break the pattern

Do you know how burned out you are exactly?

According to psychologists Herbert Freudenberger (who invented the term "Burnout") and Gail North, there are 12 stages.

Burnout has a wide range, from "I can't wait for the day to be over" to having a complete mental or physical collapse.

Make sure you pay attention to your symptoms and not lose track of who you are and where you need to be mentally, physically, and emotionally.

Are you living in the moment?

People say this all the time, but do you know what that means or how to do it?

Living in the moment, or being present, means you are mindful and enjoying what is happening right now and not distracted by the distant past or future worries.

Being present is HARD because our mind likes to wander.

Here are 4 key themes of people who live (and thrive) in the present moment:

1. Focus on your breath
2. Be curious
3. Find your flow
4. Forgive yourself and others
