Interview Tips
| Salary Negotiation
| Remember, good negotiation is really two parties coming together to find a mutually beneficial outcome.
The goal is "Win, Win" which means that you "Win"
and they "Win". |
| Research salary expectations via: Salary surveys, job boards, etc... |
| Wait till the interviewer brings up the subject of salary
requirements. That will give you the negotiation edge. |
| When asked for your salary requirements, you can respond with a question: "For this
position, what is the salary range you think is appropriate for the most qualified
candidates with my experience and qualifications?" |
| If the interviewer is evasive then respond with "Most
of the companies I'm looking at are offering salaries in the range
of <low Salary> to <high Salary>." Now pause and
wait for the interviewer to talk. |
| Good luck from here! |
