Roofing interviews are not your typical sit-down-and-chat affairs. The person across from you has worked in the sun and rain and probably built a few roofs before they ever ran a crew. They’re not going to be impressed by vague answers or generic talk about being a “hard worker.” They want to know if you…
Getting hired as a lifeguard takes more than a valid certification and a strong freestyle stroke.

Most people who negotiate their salary get more money. Most people don’t negotiate. That’s the uncomfortable truth sitting at the center of every job offer you’ll ever receive. Research shows that people who negotiate their salary receive an average increase of 18.83% over those who accept the first offer. Yet more than half of job…
