        Business Outlook

        Pros

        Better salary than most parishes (counties) in Louisiana. Several opportunities for professional development. I teach in the French Immersion program. Students in the French Immersion program tend to be average to above average students. Several schools of choice.

        Cons

        Salary not competitive with most other states in the US. Very rigid curriculum. Doesn't allow for flexibility or creativity.

            Account Manager

            Applying for 2 internal promotion positions within the same company each in a different state in the US. Should you mention this while in the interview stages of both positions?

            Was told by an company I was interviewing with I would hear back from them the first week of December. The last time we spoke was before Thanksgiving, as I'm trying to respect their decision-making process. Should I reach out again now that we're closer to the date?

            EY

            When negotiating salary over the phone, can you mention that you know what the salary is for the position you're applying for? E.g. I know people at the company I'm interviewing for in the exact level that I would be in who are making about 15k more than what I am expecting to be offered. Can I say, "I know Managers at this firm make xyz so I would like to be close to that number"
