Reduced Salaries are blamed on bad career advice and other issues<\/b><\/p>\n

CHARLOTTE, NC – June 2 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Nearly one-third of white-collar workers who changed jobs during the last year took a pay cut, in part because of bad advice from family and friends, according to a national survey by the experts at Graham Holland, the Charlotte based career management firm. Nearly 30% of those executives surveyed who said they took a new job, accepted pay cuts, sometimes because of over confidence or costly mistakes during salary negotiations.<\/p>\n

“Despite the widespread availability of career experts, most people still turn to family and friends for guidance,” said Epsie Shapley, Managing Partner of Graham Holland, a company that helps professionals and executives with their job searches. “Thirty-six percent of respondents said they relied on friends or family whose advice may be undermining their success.”<\/p>\n

Ironically, among those who looked for a job during the last five years, 70% described themselves as ‘confident’ in their ability to negotiate for top dollar.<\/p>\n

Internet Evolves as Search Tool<\/b><\/p>\n

Among white-collar workers, 67% used the Internet during their job search. Of those, seventy-six percent have emailed resumes to potential employers and 48% used email to send a thank you note after a job interview. Eighty percent researched a company prior to a job interview.<\/p>\n

Most people reported that even strangers were eager to help when contacted for advice on a job search,” said Ms. Shapley. <\/p>\n

Last year, we surveyed all types of workers and found that less than 4% landed their last position through the Internet and only 12% had used the Internet for networking,” said Ms. Shapley, whose company specializes in the career management in the Carolinas.<\/p>\n

Taylor Nelson Sofres was commissioned to conduct the survey of 871 American adults who identified themselves as white-collar workers who have job-hunted in the last five years. Each year, the company conducts a national survey tracking changing job hunting patterns.<\/p>\n

Expanding one’s network is one place where executives can significantly broaden their ability to meet decision makers. The Internet could provide that contact information.<\/p>\n
