Negotiating Salary for Job Offer?

How do I go about negotiating salary for a job offer? Will I be successful negotiating if I say "Is the salary negotiable?" or will they just say no? Do I have to name an exact number?

    There are seven rules to remember when negotiating a salary.

    1. Know your bottom line.

    2. Let the Company start the money talk first.

    3. Avoid money talk, even if the interviewer brings up the subject. If you are asked, "What are your salary expectations for this position?" Say, "I am quite flexible in terms of salary or "I am looking for a salary that is suitable for my experience and skills as they relate to the challenges of the position."

    4. He who speaks first loses. If asked what your salary expectations are say, "My salary expectations are open." Or "My salary history has been progressively competitive."

    5. Always speak in terms of ranges.

    6. Speak of your market value, not of your needs.

    7. Understand the bounds of reality. The higher the position the easier it is to negotiate. Entry level positions tend to have little negotiating room.

    I hope this helps you.

    Peace and blessings!

    It all depends on the job you're trying to get. Know what you need to take the job and know what that same type of job normally pays in your area. Just say.. I'd like to talk about the pay.. and go from there. Is the salary negotiable? If it isn't they will say no. If it might be.. they will usually say something like, well what salary were you thinking of.. and have a number ready. If they are open to it great.. and sometimes they will make a counter offer.. "Look, we'd love to have you work for us, but we can only do this much more.. " kinda thing. Remember this YOU don't know if you don't ask!!! Good luck.
