Re: How To: Tactfully deal with salary questions in TW job interviews?

Kathleen <keamac -at- cox -dot- net> asked (not entirely off-topic), "Does anyone 
have suggestions for salary negotiations?"


My fav method of introducing the right salary is providing Department 
of Labor and local cost-of-living information. For instance, I may say 
something like, "The DOL reported last year that a person of X 
background with Y education and Z experience nationally earns an 
average of X. Locally adjusted for a COL variable of Q and the 
requirements for this position, you should reasonably expect to pay no 
less than  ... blah blah blah."

Get statistical. Show you know your worth. Worked for me, at least.

Good luck!
