How to Examine a Job Offer
Posted in Salaries & Benefits
A major consideration in the evaluation process will be your salary. Remember that you can negotiate salary only after an offer has been made. Here are some salary negotiation tips:
Research the job market and learn the salary range for the types of jobs for which you will be interviewing.
Determine your "bottom line." At some point your bottom line will be tested. An employer will offer you a salary that is below this amount. You need to know "how low you can go."
Salary is often based upon value and your ability to produce. You will need to know your market value.
Often, you will be asked about your Salary Requirements in the job interview process or in the letter of application. You may provide the employer with your salary range.
You may inquire at the initial interview about the salary range for the position.
