I am so unhappy at my current position. Not only was it an increase in money, it was a full time position that allowed me to finish college. But I'm commuting further than I want to and am not being given the responsibilities I was promised upon graduation. I've been here for two years and right now I'm staying because my DH just got orders to transfer to the base right by where I work and he's promised me we're moving to this area in April, so that will take care of the commute, but worse I hate looking for a new position. I always feel like I don't know what I'm doing when it comes to negotiating a salary. I feel employers want the best employee for the least amount of money and I'm not very savvy in that area so feel like I cut myself short for what I'm worth. Plus I'm never sure I'm qualified, if that makes any sense. I know there's probably never the perfect announcement but I keep looking. While I've never used one, I've been thinking of contacting a headhunter to see if they can find the right position for me. Good luck SM.
