Salary Negotiations


For recent graduates as well as experienced workers, negotiating a salary may be an awkward or uncomfortable experience. However, under the appropriate circumstances and armed with the necessary information, the task is much less daunting. Simply put, negotiating is merely meeting and discussing a subject with another person in order to reach an agreement. The art of negotiation is based upon mutual agreement of issues and should not be confrontational.

While salary negotiation should not begin until the employer has made an offer, as a candidate, your work actually begins during the initial interview. It is at this time that you tell recruiters about yourself, your accomplishments, and what you can bring to their organization. Overall, it is your responsibility to demonstrate your value to the employer.
