Tips For Negotiate Your Job Salary

In today’s society, money is one of the biggest incentives in the workplace for employed professionals and is often negotiated after you impress your potential employer. I believe it is always important to negotiate salary after you impress your future employer because this is the moment in time when you have the most power to increase your salary and overall quality of life in this position. This past week I got to interview with a potential employer, CVS Caremark and utilize my newfound negotiation skills to request a higher paying salary. Before the interview, I knew I wanted to take a different approach to negotiating salary so, I used essential elements out of the class textbook Negotiation and Dispute Resolution by Beverly J. Demarr and Suzanne C. De Janasz. Furthermore, I will be discussing how I prepared before for the interview, what I have learned from the experience, and the results of the salary negotiation. Also, it is important to highlight the key elements to negotiating salary and why we are so invested into negotiating salary.

In Bolles’ text, What Color is Your Parachute?, he discusses in chapter 5 about the best ways and time to approach your potential employer about what salary you will be receiving. He then highlights 6 secrets of salary negotiation, which were: to never discuss salary till the close of the whole interview process, salary negotiation uncovers the maximum an employer will pay to get you, never be the first one to mention a salary figure, research ahead of time salaries for your position, research a range your employer may have in mind and define your range in line with theirs, and finally, know how to properly end the conversation. Hard work and luck will ultimately lead to a successful conclusion to the job hunt. Chapter 6 highlights what to

My time in the negotiation skills workshop was very humbling. Before the workshop began my negotiation ability was one of the business skills I knew needed the most improvement. When going into negotiations at work, prior to the course, the only thing I knew was that I wanted a lower price then I was given. What actually surprised me most what that I did actually have some effective negotiating strategies but I was correct in my belief that I had a lot to learn. When you have a goal but lack a game plan on how to achieve it that makes negotiating very difficult and something that I approached with much reservation at work.

The U.S. Census Bureau recently reported that women's paychecks are 26% smaller than male coworkers doing the same work. The gap widens to 32% for female executives compared to male executives. It is suggested that women tend to be less aggressive when negotiating base pay during the interview process. Women are more likely to accept the offered salary than men are. Men tend to negotiate with the employer for a

Negotiation occurs on a regular basis in a daily life and individuals negotiate in business occasions or outside of the workplace. Having superior negotiation skills is conductive to the success in personal life and career development. This essay will indicate that my natural preferences for different influencing tactics, comparisons between theory and practice, and a personal action plan to improve negotiation skills based on the role-play activity in my class.

The first thing that stood out to me during this negotiation was that everyone was working together instead of working just for their own personal interests. I could see the evolution of every ones’ negotiation skills since the Russian Railroad negotiation. I learned that negotiating salaries is much more difficult than negotiating deals for money. When one of our group members lost her job, we decided to give all of our bonus money to her to make up for it. We thought we tried everything possible in order to prevent her from losing her job. Negotiating salaries made the negotiating feel real. No one wants to lose their job, so it added a lot of pressure on all of us to make things work.

1. Don 't be afraid to ask for what you want. Successful negotiators are assertive and challenge everything – they know that everything is negotiable. I call this negotiation consciousness. Negotiation consciousness is what makes the difference between negotiators and everybody else on the planet.

In the article, Why Women Don’t Ask For More Money it discusses the issue that comes up with womens wages and whether or not they negotiate for higher wages or even mention it at all. Amanatullah had issues with negotiating for herself and wanted to figure where these issues were discerning from so she set up a research experiment with men and women. They were to negotiate for a starting salary and the men ended up doing better. but, what they did find was that women tended to negotiate for higher amounts when it was for someone else rather then themselves. At the end of the article the advice given for women is to remember that you are always negotiating for more than just yourself, as you may have a family. It is best to think of it as a type of problem solving technique to ease the perspective of others opinion of you. When negotiating you should not be rude, but be stern and ease your way into benefits and a higher salary.

My strategy for this negotiation would be to list my achievements, such as punctuality, going above and beyond expectations, as well as assisting employees in other departments. I will allow my supervisor to make the first salary offer. Depending on his offer, I will express that I want a salary that is competitive with the market. My second response would be to give a salary range that I find

Before coming to negotiation work shop I strongly believed that it is not easy to get achieve Win-Win or Win loss results at every negotiation. That’s made me more excited to attend this work shop. In my personal life, people around me believe me that I am a good negotiator/ buyer as “buying research “ is my routine activity. I have been successful most of the time in negotiating good deal for the things I buy in my personal life.

I feel that the most important part of negotiation is relationship building. When you build a solid relationship on trust, you are more likely to come to agreements even if you have to come up with different alternatives. I know that when I buy or negotiate things, I like to go to people I have a solid foundation with. If I don’t know someone then I ask

The social cost of pay negotiation and a lack of perceived opportunities deter women form asking for higher salaries. Many women are reluctant to advocate for themselves because they feel the social cost of their actions will be higher than the monetary gains from a potential raise. There is a social stigma that females should be compassionate and nurturing and therefore should not want more money for themselves. Females worry that the act of negotiating one’s salary can easily be misconstrued as being selfish and competitive, two adjectives often considered “un-womanly”. The expectation of social and workplace backlash keeps many women from

* This negotiation was an important one from a career point of view as it involves a salary negotiation for an existing job. I have never been in a situation where I have actually negotiated a salary for a person working under me, so it was a good experience for me. I was playing the role of Pat Lynch, V.P. of marketing for Rapid Leatherhead Goods Company. There are 4 main product lines which comprise the major portion of the company’s online sales. A new director for marketing was hired two years ago for mail order sales. He has done a good job with three lines, but the fourth line, which was a problem even before he joined, is still a problem and there has not been an increase in sales for that product. It is the company’s

Negotiation is a complex process. Fells (2009) defines negotiation as “a process where two [or more] parties with differences which they need to resolve are trying to reach an agreement through exploring for options and exchanging offers” (p.3). For most employers, salary negotiation is standard and expected. For the prospective employee, negotiating a salary and benefits package requires knowledge of negotiation tactics and an understanding of his or her desired outcome. Furthermore, effective negotiation requires the negotiating parties to adapt his or her tactics and approach to the environment (Korobkin, 2014). Negotiating salaries is unique because the stakes are
