Research Salary Information

If you are wondering what similar jobs pay in your geographical area or what your salary would equate to in another location, there are numerous websites you can research for salary information. These include: Salary.com, Monster.com, the Bureau of Labor Statistics, and JobStar. If you are asked what your salary requirements are, it is preferable to ask the employer what their range is before you state a figure. If the employer insists on knowing your requirements, it is a good strategy to bracket your requirements by providing a salary range based on your research. For example, “My requirements are within the range of 50K to 65K.” That leaves you more negotiating room if the figure they offer does not meet your salary requirements.
