Salary Negotiation Tips: Prepare to Negotiate by Doing Research In order to effectively negotiate a fair salary, you need to know what a realistic salary range is for someone: 1. in the type of position youve been offered 2. with your qualifications/skills 3. in that geographic location 4. with your amount of experience Note that the same type of position will earn different salaries in different types of organizations. For example, there are often differences between a business, nonprofit, or government agency. To research typical salary ranges, try the following: • Network: Ask your contacts in the industry what the salary range is for someone in a similar position. (Ask about salary ranges; dont ask for someones specific salary.) • Visit the CLA Career Services office (or a local library) to look for publications such as: the Occupational Outlook Handbook, Occupational Outlook Quarterly, or Salary Survey • Go on Informational Interviews and include salary questions on your questions list. • Use an online salary calculator. Try salary or the NACE Salary Calculator.
