How can I negotiate salary?

Question

I am gonna be interviewed for this company that i really wanna work with. When do I raise up the issue of salary? How would I make sure that I will get higher salary from them compared to the one i am working now. Aside from salary, I am currently goiong to school at my present company's expense. When and How will I tackle that part to them, and hopefully also get a scholarship from them.

Answer 1

calculate how much you currently make and include benefits (like tuition reimbursement) in that calculation

search job sites (hot jobs, career building, monster) for similar positions so that you can get an idea of the salary range

when you speak with them, get an idea of the benefit package first; and when they finish detailing the benefits, if tuition reimb. isn't mentioned then ask if it's offerred.

and if they ask you what you're looking for regarding salary, give them a range (do yourself proud), this will hopefully keep you from selling yourself short

Good Luck
