It’s a jungle out there, so keep scrolling for even more good advice on job interviews, salaries and daily money management. Janie Take back your life There are so many potential pitfalls when it comes to buying or selling a house. Forewarned is forearmed, especially when it comes to what’s been called “the biggest scam in real estate,” dual representation, which is when an agent represents both the buyer and seller in a transaction. First-time homeowners should be especially wary, but don’t worry. We explain how, why and what to avoid. Don't fall into this real estate trap Deal with it Many people consider talking about money tacky or even taboo, especially at work. But there is a good reason to bring up salary with coworkers, and doing it could be crucial to both your job satisfaction and your bottom line. “If you have transparency, people are more likely to be paid what they’re worth,” says Denisse Rousseau, a professor of organizational behavior and public policy at Carnegie Mellon University.The trick, of course, is knowing when and how to bring this up – and what to do with the information you and your colleagues share. How to talk about your salary with coworkers Pro Tip: There’s one thing you should do when you first walk out of a job interview: send a thank-you note. Good manners aside, you might otherwise be leaving money on the table. In a survey, 63 percent of recruiters said they’d be more likely to hire someone who asked for slightly more money and sent a thank-you note than someone who asked for slightly less money but did not send a note. But last year, only 26 percent of entry-level applicants wrote a post-interview thank-you note. Fortunately, it can be as easy as an email – and experts told us exactly what you should include.
