Negotiate salary?

Let them make the first offer, and counter with 5-8% above that... then work your way down...

Tell them thank you for the job offer but how negotiable is the base salary as it is less than you expected.

Have a figure in your head that you are prepared to accept no less than and the figure of what you want.

Do not try to strong Arm them you want this to be a win win situation.

Believe in yourself when you are negotiating and be prepared to back up your tho with thoughts on why you are worth the money with examples of from your past job experience.

Hope this helps

According to salary negotiation expert Jack Chapman, it's important to do your research, know what you want and are willing to accept, and never put any numbers on the table until the employer has made an initial offer. He says, "Generally, you will want to bump the starting salary up 5-10% or more. But, if they go first, you certainly won't get less than their initial offer."

Never be the first to put out a number. You will lose. If you go lower then they were expecting, that's what they will offer, if you go too high, they will not offer you the position.

Second, research what you could/should be earning. There are TONS of sites out there that have comparison tables, pick one.

And, lastly, talk about the entire employment package, not just the salary. Vacation time is negotiable, 401(k), medical insurance, bonuses, etc...

No - the very defnition of negotiating a salary means that you negotiatie what you get - there is not one shred of evidence to even suggest that women are treted differently in this regard. If you hav ehard any such thing - you are listening to yet another mae-up story to suport the view that women are somehow victims if they are not paid the same. (Harry) "Damn - I pulled every trick to get a bigger slaary - but I ended up with what I got! Company can't afford any more" (Harriett) (ratchets eyebrows) "Damn I pulled every trick to get a bigger slary - but the bastard boss discriminated against me! I'll make up the balance by suing for discrimination or harassment!"

you are really the only one that can answer this question -- base on a honest self evaluation how do you rank your self against the job. if right in the middle shoot for the mid point of the salary range!!!

Be prepared with knowledge of the average wage for your profession in the area where you are looking for a job and ask for better than the average.
