What are you worth, and can you get the best money in today's job
market? How much will you be making in five years from now? Here is
the book that answers the most important questions about how you
can increase your salary. Whether applying for a job or seeking a
raise or promotion, few people know what they are really worth.
They frequently underestimate their value, are afraid to talk about
money, believe salaries are predetermined, and fail to negotiate
salaries and raises to their benefit. At the same time, employers
have an interest in keeping salaries secret and near the norm. The
method employers use to calculate your value, and the value of the
position, will largely determine what salary they will offer you.
How, then, do you determine your value and negotiate a salary that
truly reflects what you are worth rather than what employers are
willing to offer? Offering insightful analyses and sound
prescrip-tions, the authors outline the major issues involved in
deter-mining salaries: secrecy, salary history, salary
requirements, salary ranges, and negotiating tactics. Dispelling
numerous myths and outlining many mistakes, the authors reveal how
to: Determine major trends for salaries and benefits in the decade
ahead; Value positions, acquire salary information, and calculate
your worth; Develop an orientation to achieving success; Respond to
ads and applications requesting salary history or salary
requirements; Handle tough interview questions; Negotiate your
salary and terms of employment; finalise the job offer. If you
follow this guide carefully, you should be able to substan-tially
increase your salary in the years to come!
