For this weeks post, I chose to discuss what to do when negotiating your salary during a job offer. Salary negotiation is a subcategory of "Learning about Employers" in the text book on page 577, and I thought it would be interesting to see what techniques can be used to receive your ideal salary. The text states that your main goal when negotiating salary should be to end up in a "win-win" situation between the employer and you. As suggested by the woman in the video, it is very important to have a number in mind as to what would satisfy your monetary needs. She also suggests that when the employer offers a particular salary that is not high enough for you, respond by "high-balling" him in your counter-offer so that you can draw to a better agreement at your ideal salary. I found this video and the text to be very helpful, because sometimes negotiating one's pay can be a very uncomfortable experience if you are not confident with the process. I hope that this information will be helpful to the rest of you in the near future as we set out to negotiate our own salaries.

Useful tips in the video clip on negotiating salary. Please, more white space in your post. I have mentioned this before in your posts, Brett.
