Salary Negotiation

Wait...future employers can actually negotiate!? I've heard this before, but I have never had the guts to could even imagine trying this. But  yes, people do negotiate their salary. I do some friends who have successfully done this, and embrace them for it. I think that it takes a lot for a person to negotiate their salary with an employer. Here are the six secrets to salary negotiation:

1. Never discuss salary until the end of the whole interviewing process at the organization. When (and if) they have definitely said they want you.
2. The purpose of salary negotiation is to uncover the most that an employer is willing to pay for you.
3. During salary discussion, never be the first one to mention a salary figure.
4. Before you go to the interview, do some careful research on typical salaries for your field and in that organization.
5. Research the range that the employer likely has in mind, and then define the interrelated range for yourself, relative to the employer's range.
6. Know how to bring the salary negotiation to a close; don't leave it "just hanging"
