Salary Negotiation Tips
from The CV Store
The CV Store is one of the UK's leading CV writing companies. Financial Appointments has teamed up with them to provide our visitors with a breakdown of some useful counter-proposal tips:
- Ideally, delay all salary negotiations for the longest possible time and do not negotiate straight after an offer
- Investigate the package you have been offered and ensure you have clearly identified the areas of the specific package you would like improved prior to initiating negotiations
- Fully research the average salary of people in similar positions - consider contacting other firms advertising similar vacancies to get an idea as to what you should be looking for
- NEVER make demands
- If you are relocating, mention this in your negotiations
- Never make it look as though you need the money / are desperate - this will significantly decrease your chances of successful negotiation
- If the salary is not negotiable, ask for improvements in other areas of the package you have been offered - such as holiday allowances, etc.
