How To Negotiate Your Salary as a Unit Secretary (Video)

A viewer wanted some advice on negotiating the salary for a new position that she is applying for at the company she already works at.    

      Below are some of the suggestions that I had for her:  

•  Be confident when you ask for the money
• Ask for the top of your range
• Ask for the salary in a year range. For example: instead of asking for $20 per hour, ask for a salary within $38,000 - $45,000
• If you have been with the company for a while and are willing to be with them for the long term; tell them so
• Your previous experience adds to and does not take away, and you should be compensated for it
  
• Negotiate no more than twice.
• If you’ve agreed to a certain amount than stand by it.
• Be willing to walk away.
