Tooling Up: Six Classic Lines of Bull - Science Careers - Biotech, Pharmaceutical, Faculty, Postdoc jobs on Science Careers: "Tooling Up: Six Classic Lines of BullBy David G. Jensen
May 15, 2009
'My major weakness? I guess it must be that I sometimes work too hard.' Translation: 'I've just finished reading all the books that I could find on interview preparation, and I've got a really snappy answer for you.' While browsing a newsstand in the airport recently, I noticed a headline on a women's magazine: 'Top 10 Lines to Attract Men.' I wondered if those lines were as much nonsense as the stereotypical pickup lines men use on women"

I have to say if you work in a scientific field and you are at all interested in your salary, I highly recomment you check out this post online.

It is written by someone with experience in both science and salary negotiation. It deals with the real issues... If you are not aiming to be in management, you may be aiming to limit your salary potential. If you are a pure academic, consider the implications, even if you are PhD qualified.. The value that management brings is that they know the dollars and cents value of decisions made by underlings.

If you are at all interested in your career and your salary earnings, check out our site.

There are millions of excellent tips on learning to negotiate your salary like a pro.

Best wishes. Trevor Davide Grant

Northern Star Online: NIU females learn to negotiate high wages

Northern Star Online: NIU females learn to negotiate high wages: "The lecture was designed to teach women what to look out for in salaries when being hired by a company and how to work up the courage and confidence to negotiate higher wages while being tactful and respectful about it.

Szymczak spoke of her own experience where she had negotiated her salary by proving her true worth to a law firm and wound up earning $8,000 more because of it.The lecture was designed to teach women what to look out for in salaries when being hired by a company and how to work up the courage and confidence to negotiate higher wages while being tactful and respectful about it.

Szymczak spoke of her own experience where she had negotiated her salary by proving her true worth to a law firm and wound up earning $8,000 more because of it."

Now here is an exceptional article about exceptional people moving ahead and asserting their worth. YES, even in this crappy economy, even with the RISK of rejection, some people, and proudly women are taking a stance they deserve more salary.

They are learning how to earn more salary and how to negotiatiate a salary by proving their worth!

I have covered this off ad nauseum before, but knowing your worth and being prepared to defend and to move forward with a position of power is absolutely critical in your salary negotiation game. I recently discovered people of the same level experience are earning $50K more than me, while I am still earning thousands more than people who are more qualified than I am, with higher credentials.

It is imperative to have the skills to navigate the shark filled waters of your career and your salary negotiation.

May the power be with you and may you find your way to the information you need to assist you in your self empowered career mobility.

God Bless.! TDG

Poll: HR Pros Rate Themselves Highly as Salary Negotiators

Poll: HR Pros Rate Themselves Highly as Salary Negotiators: "When asked “How would you rate your ability to negotiate salary with job candidates?,” 44 percent responded “Good” while an additional 17 percent rated themselves as “Excellent.” Another 17 percent rated their ability to negotiate salary as “Fair” while the remaining 20 percent replied that they “don’t get involved in salary negotiations.”"

THis one is a great article ... it indicates that while we are in recessionary times, those who are experts in HR, the HR people themselves regard themselves as highly expert salary negotiators...

What you need to know is that despite the fact the economy is in a depressive slump, that you still need to have a powerful position for marketing yourself. For negotiating your salary and total compensation package.

Now, more than ever, a poor negotiation will lead you to a long term loss in total career salary!!!

Now more than ever, poor skills in negotiation may lose you the job you desparately need!

Careers: The dwindling benefits of home - The National Newspaper

<b>Careers</b>: The dwindling benefits of home - The National Newspaper: "“It is an employer market place right now,” Mr Ataya says. “Existing employees are on a salary freeze this year and for new staff, a recruiter can get a more qualified person for a lower package than six months ago.”"

This is exactly the attitude that creates losers in the salary game. Not that an awareness of the current economic state is something to be ignored. You must absolutely be cognizant of the ability of employers in the marketplace to employ you at your expected compensation level.

Nonetheless, if you are highly skilled and are effective at communicating your value to the workplace, you can command salaries that are higher than the next person. You may be one among a larger pool of candidates, but if you excel, and the employer recognizes the value, they will listen to your salary negotiation requests respectfully.

Best wishes for your salary negotiation in 2009!

Bethany Adds Innovative “Real World” Course. - WTRF-TV - WTRF.com: "“This class is not your traditional college course. We will be focusing on areas not usually covered in other classes,” said Osborne. “The class is designed to introduce students to the professional world he or she is about to enter. We will place a particular emphasis on practical strategies and techniques for success.”"

Yet another very interesting article about Salary Negotiation.

Came across this one on WTRF TVs website. The article goes to show that real world skills like negotiating a salary are not wide spread common knowledge. It is about time that a public education institution would recognize this and introduce a course.

If you don't want to spend a full semester of college to learn what you can in a couple of days, check out http://www.HowToNegotiateASalary.com.

Wishing everyone the best in their negotiations during this critical time in the economy. You cannot afford to enter into salary negotiation without knowing from a practical and strategic standpoint how to negotiate a salary!

CIOZone.com - Professional Network for CIOs and IT Professionals - Chauvinists Earn More - CIOZone Forums: "Chauvinists Earn More"??????

Wow, it bothers me to think that this antiquated mindset still lingers about in these times. Whether the study is true or valid remains to be seen, however, it is my personal belief that ANYONE can negotiate themselves the top salary they can get with a little preparation.

You see, the salary you earn shouldn't be dependent on any external factors, but rather your internal mindset and determination.

You've heard of "Think and Grow Rich" right? Well, just think of this. If you limit yourself to a certain salary threshold, it is a problem in your own mind. It takes perseverance and preparation, and if you are an achiever, you will earn the raise you deserve regardless of the economy.

If you want to know more about how to negotiate a salary, then find your way to the website... Don't waste any time, and don't waste any time focusing or feeling resentful about outdated ideologies... Focus on the new world, and your new year of opportunity.

Wishing you the very best,

When it comes to the bottom line, you can either set yourself a goal and commit to it, or you can procrastinate. And its not enough to mentally commit to achieving the goal, there must be immediate follow through.

How to Negotiate Salary - washingtonpost.com

How to Negotiate Salary - washingtonpost.com: "worth sometimes depends on the state of the job market and the personality of the applicant"

Nothing could be more true. Personality plays a lot into the value that an employer perceives. If you project yourself as confident, you have a far greater chance of success with your salary negotiation.

On the other hand if you project yourself as arrogant (can be confused with self confidence in some people), you will certainly have the door closed on your salary negotiation.

Finally lacking of confidence or other insecurity will turn off the employer. Learn self confidence and you will have the best odds.

Regardless of your skills or personality, you need to know the state of the market. With the market softening, you may not be able to command as much as you expect. They key to being successful is confidently projecting your value, within the range the market can bear.

Best of luck in your salary negotiations!

Times tough, but salaries still negotiable | ajc.com

Times tough, but salaries still negotiable ajc.com: "If the thought of negotiating a salary made you cringe in the past, the thinning job market and faltering economy could add to that anxiety."

So what better time to learn to master the art of salary negotiation? If there was ever an important time in your career, now is the time to be an expert in negotiating your job offer.

Jobs are being cut at record pace with the collapse of the financial markets. Retailers are collapsing as a result of the reduced spending in the economy. Look at Linen's n Things supposed to file for bankruptcy this week.

That being said, if you are a hot commodity, then you need to position yourself for long term success and longevity in the job market. Reports are showing that people can still negotiate a salary if they have the skills.

These skills include

1) market research
2) preparing a case to show your value
3) confidence to negotiate
4) timing...
5) avoid critical landmines

Best of luck to you... but more important than luck, you need to be proactive, believe in yourself and take action.

Women Are More Anxious About the Economy - US News and World Report

Another poignant article about gender based differences in the approach taken to salary negotiation.

Women Are More Anxious About the Economy - US News and World Report: "If your salary is not commensurate with your experience, your skills, what you're contributing to the company, and what people in similar jobs are making—then have a plan for increasing your income. When it comes to salary negotiation, these are certainly hard times for many companies, but Frohlinger cautions against selling yourself short."

This article goes on to reveal the ultimate truth. Women and men alike need to consider planning for salary negotiations during this tough economic time. Without planning and without proactivity, those who aren't assertive and aggressive in advancing their salary will be left behind.

Negotiating salary can be tricky

The following statement resonates with my salary negotiation mantra almost to the letter.

Anything is negotiatable within your compensation. You should be looking to salary negotiation as early as you can in your career, after you have put in some initial effort to justify the negotiation for salary.

Negotiating salary can be tricky: "'If your potential employer can see your value, and you can address his [or her] concerns, then anything is negotiable.'"

THis is a short article with some poignant points and I recommend checking it out.

How to negotiate better pay |Advice Line | Bob Lewis | InfoWorld

Very interesting article by this advisor on the web.

How to negotiate better pay Advice Line Bob Lewis InfoWorld: "Compensation is based on the law of supply and demand. Use it to your advantage."

I do really believe the supply and demand dynamics play into someones salary negotiations, however I disagree with this fella on one point, and agree on a couple of others.

The fact that your situation is tight and your family needs a hot meal at dinner is not a concern of the business and it is not a powerful negotiation starter.

The fact that too much time has elapsed between your pay increases is a similar non-starter.

However I take issue and disagree with him in part on his point about value. The value you bring to the table does need to be expressed powerfully, or it will be possible to be jetissoned for the running in salary negotiations. Supply and demand do dictate what the range is. But there are other factors such as risk of hiring a new person versus benefit of keeping a known entity in the work force as tradeoffs.

It is imperative to be able to not only express your value, but express your value like no other contender for the job can express it. There in lies the basis of your salary negotiation.

To your ultimate salary success.
