Does the thought of negotiating a salary scare you?

Today's article talks about getting the salary you deserve. Show Me the Money! Four Key Things to Know Before Talking About Salary In a Job Interview , will help you to:

• Know your market value
• Know your target company
• Know how to answer salary expectations
• Know how to negotiate

FOCUS: Being laid off does NOT diminish your salary market worth!

Throughout this article, please hold that key point in mind. Regardless of how "desperate" you may feel right now, feelings do not determine your market worth.

When it involves salary, US companies are still lagging behind–and dragging their behinds–on pay transparency. And, when it comes to supporting or enforcing it, lawmakers aren’t moving fast enough, either. No matter how important a company’s work culture may be, salary is still a top priority for job seekers. We all need money!

Yet, here we are, still applying to jobs largely in the blind. Depending on the company, a candidate can expect to go through several interviews (and weeks) before learning what a position’s real salary is. Then, when an offer finally arrives, the recruiter wants to play footsies around making a reasonable offer. It’s beyond frustrating.

Forget about trying to explain why companies do this; you can pretty much guess: budgets, greed, economy–it doesn’t matter. When you apply for a job, your only concern should be getting the salary you deserve (plus a little more!) So, how do you do that?

You get what you want by doing some digging around. Being informed is the best way to confidently state what you want and not settle for anything less than you deserve.
