What I was taught in “work studies”

Basically they taught us to write a resume, answer questions, apply for a job, etc. Keep in mind this was nearly 15 years ago. I recall them telling us the only good answer to what are your salary expectations is “Whatever you have budgeted”. It took me a long time to get out of that frame of mine. Idgaf about your budget, if you can't afford me you can't afford me. You get what you pay for though. It's still an awkward conversation to negotiate wage but I blame that partly in my conditioning.
