How to Negotiate Salary for Your Job Offer

ClearedJobs.Net's HR Specialist Patra Frame on how to negotiate salary when you've been offered a new job.

So you have an offer for a job? Now what?
First, is it the right offer? That is, is it the job you really want? In a place and a company where you can succeed?
If it's not, there's no reason to think even about negotiating but if it's a good offer or pretty good offer then you might want to consider whether or not you should negotiate. You can negotiate two or three things. Often these negotiations are first and foremost about compensation but many times they also might include a title or another issue.
Be very clear what you want before you think about negotiating anything. And then the approach is, thank the hiring manager for the offer, remind him or her why you're interested and then state what your concern is and what you want, so you will say that you're really interested in the job but as you understand the scope of this job you think that you would want an additional $10,000 to do this job.
Once you have made your case and it needs to be a business case based on your value to the organization. Stop, don't talk anymore let them talk, certainly in any negotiation you need to have a backup plan, not only what you're going to do if they say no because some companies don't negotiate at all but also alternatives because some companies negotiate but with only within certain parameters. So you might ask for a bigger salary and they might say no, you might say could they do a pay review in three months instead, could you get an extra week of vacation instead so have your negotiation thought out in advance, be ready to demonstrate the business reasons and the value you bring to that employer.
Keep it positive and you can keep it a win-win for both you and the employer so that you get the job, you get the terms you want and you go in and you'll succeed.
