Salary Negotiations from underpaid to another Job? |
Say you get an interview with another position that you like and currently you are not getting paid what you deserve in yourexisting job. If asked what were you making or what do you expect? what is the alternative to lying so you can start up in this new position with a better starting point ? I agree with Jason. 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, in the worst case scenario, if they go first, you certainly won't get less than their initial offer." You can read more from Chapman here: http://www.payscale.com/resources.aspx?n... PayScale.com has other articles on salary negotiation as well as resume tips and career advice. You can also take their free salary survey to get more accurate salary data for the specific position you're applying for. That way, you can compare your current salary with what others are being paid, and find out what salary range you can reasonably expect from the new position, taking your experience, skills, and location into consideration. http://www.payscale.com/?src=yahooa... Hope that helps, Assistant to Dr. Salary Source(s): http://www.payscale.com/resources.aspx?s... Never lie first off. Secondly change the question around, ask them what they are looking for (pay wise) as far as someone with your experience and education. Never be the first to put a number on the table.
