    Negotiating Your New Salary

    When offered a job, it can be difficult to broach the subject of salary
    with your new employer. You dont want to ask for too much and alienate
    them or look foolish, but you also dont want to end up being underpaid.
    Negotiating a salary is easier than you think, when you follow a few
    simple guidelines.

    Respond to the question in a positive manner, but avoid stating specific
    amounts.
    Make a statement such as I earned a salary in the mid-30s at
    my previous job.

    If a job application asks for a requested salary, you can fill it in with
    a requested range, or use a term such as competitive to indicate that
    youre willing to accept the industry standard rate.

    Research salaries in your field
    Know how much you are willing to compromise. Before you enter an
    interview, be mentally prepared with the lowest salary amount you will
    accept. Be open to negotiation, up to a point.

    Salary negotiation is one of the trickiest parts of landing your new
    position. Use these tips to handle salary discussions with your new
    employer with grace and style.

    On this issue, it is also good to tell them during the interview that u believe the company already have a salary scale for entry postion or the one you r going in for if it is experienced. but u should also enquire to know what d basics are in the industry in u r going into so dat u wont end up rating urself too low and land an unsatisfactory job or too high and miss an opportunity. Your skills counts though!
    JUST BELIEVE IN URSELF.... THEN U CAN ACHIEVE IT
