Tools to Research Salaries
https://www.careercontessa.com/advice/cctmi-salary-negotiation/ -- This is my favorite career blog ever! I feel like they give so much good information. Their salary page is very in depth, but full of great tools to research. I like that they teach women how to create a budget to know what salary they need, and then give tools to find a job that fits. (from Joy Lewis)
https://www.eatrightpro.org/practice/career-development/salary-calculator/salary-calculator
https://www.bls.gov/oes/current/oes291031.htm --- This is a great website from the bureau of labor statistics, and give averages nationwide for RDs
https://www.onetonline.org/link/summary/29-1031.00 -- ONET is the best website. I use this website to build my resume, and it breaks down salary by area and breaks it down by quartiles. The most accurate website I have seen for salaries. (from Joy Lewis)
Two other useful tools
1. Career Service Centers on College Campus- During my internship a career counselor met with us. She provided us resources on salary negotiations. resume drafts, cover letter examples, and appropriate attire. I think this may be an underutilized tool. After finishing my internship I continued to use their services.
2. Dress For Success (women) and Career Gear (Men) - They are more than just a suit! I am still a member of this organization. The women in this group taught me so much. This is open to graduating college students and veterans. It requires a referral. They do a lot of job prep, and helped me prepare for interviews. Additionally, they have professional development. Great organizations.
