New job advice
I've made it my goal to put out my resume after we got through our audit/end of January. Well, the audit is done and February is 3 days away. I'm terrified.
What's some good advice for hunting? Anything I should consider in negotiating assuming I get an offer? I'm almost 32 years old and have been with the same company since I was 20. I really have no idea what I'm doing!
I know there were a lot in my situation here so maybe we can help each other out?

Re: New job advice
my read shelf:
I will be looking for a job in a couple of months. I am terrified and already stressing over it.
If you're okay where you are, don't apply for / accept a lower or lateral move unless that's what you really want. New jobs are excellent ways to move your career forward, but don't hedge your bets on growth potential with a new company.
Oh, and back to the post a couple days ago - proof everything, and get others to read your resume. Don't count on spell check (Public involvement strategy is an excellent thing to put on your resume. Pubic involvement strategy, not so much.)
I also recommend an "Accomplishments" type section on your resume right up top rather than a summary or something like that. I find that it's a good, quick sell for candidates.
Also, if I were you, I'd consider negotiating vacation time if you were to get an offer. You've been at your company long enough that you would want something comparable I'm sure at the new place.
As for negotiating... Women most often hear an offer and just take it. Men hear an offer and see it as a place to start the negotiations. Don't be afraid to tell them you are worth more! (Although squeezing out the highest possible salary isn't everything -- perks and benefits can actually outweigh an extra few dollars on your pay cheques.) So if they aren't willing to budge enough on the salary, squeeze better perks out of them.
