Kathleen <keamac -at- cox -dot- net> asked (not entirely off-topic), "Does anyone have suggestions for salary negotiations?"


My fav method of introducing the right salary is providing Department of Labor and local cost-of-living information. For instance, I may say something like, "The DOL reported last year that a person of X background with Y education and Z experience nationally earns an average of X. Locally adjusted for a COL variable of Q and the requirements for this position, you should reasonably expect to pay no less than ... blah blah blah."

Get statistical. Show you know your worth. Worked for me, at least.

Good luck!
