For shorter hours, however, negotiating current job is much easier based on my own experience and research. 3) Deciding what you want is a big part of it, but you can make it a lot easier in many ways, as I discuss in the book. For example: * Only ask for shorter workweek after you get the job offer. * Present your skills in the right way (a lot of resumes are just a list of technologies instead of expressing real value of skills). * Get multiple job offers. * Make sure you don't give a vibe of not being committed. etc.
