Posts like these always make me realize how long the hiring process takes and that I need to get my ass in gear at work! :P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/interview-limbo-gamewaitingwaiting#post-1404192 Thu, 06 Feb 2014 15:11:44 +0000 babycanuck 1404192@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@babyjmama: No news!!! I have no idea if they spoke to my boss either, she's in another office today. I spoke to an ex employee and she gave me a bunch of stuff to say too, so since the negotiations are over the phone they won't see how nervous I am. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/interview-limbo-gamewaitingwaiting#post-1404155 Thu, 06 Feb 2014 15:02:52 +0000 Meltini 1404155@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Good luck! I could have written your post as I am waiting for news too and was told I should hear this week. The waiting game is the worst! I hope you get the position and don't have to do much negotiating. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/interview-limbo-gamewaitingwaiting#post-1404132 Thu, 06 Feb 2014 14:58:52 +0000 doodlepoodle 1404132@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@AmeliaBedilia: agreed! Women almost never ask for more $$ but men almost always do! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/interview-limbo-gamewaitingwaiting#post-1404125 Thu, 06 Feb 2014 14:58:12 +0000 doodlepoodle 1404125@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@babycanuck: any news?! Eeek! I have people ask for more money all the time. I always tell them that it never hurts to ask! The worst they can do is say no ;-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/interview-limbo-gamewaitingwaiting#post-1404001 Thu, 06 Feb 2014 14:37:22 +0000 AmeliaBedilia 1404001@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Be assertive and ask for a little more than you think you're worth. Lots of studies suggest that women make less because we don't negotiate. I hate it, but it's essential. Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/interview-limbo-gamewaitingwaiting#post-1402663 Thu, 06 Feb 2014 08:23:36 +0000 babycanuck 1402663@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@tinyperson: @JoJoGirl: thank you!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/interview-limbo-gamewaitingwaiting#post-1402662 Thu, 06 Feb 2014 08:23:31 +0000 JoJoGirl 1402662@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@tinyperson: My husband coached me through my first ever salary negotiation at my current job. It was the hardest thing I ever did but it worked! I counter-offered something a bit over the top and they met me halfway! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/interview-limbo-gamewaitingwaiting#post-1402660 Thu, 06 Feb 2014 08:22:23 +0000 tinyperson 1402660@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JoJoGirl: I like that! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/interview-limbo-gamewaitingwaiting#post-1402659 Thu, 06 Feb 2014 08:22:09 +0000 tinyperson 1402659@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@babycanuck: I might try to come across a little stronger...</p> <p>While I appreciate the offer, I'm concerned about the salary. I've done some research and an average salary for someone in this type of position is $X to $X. Are you able to offer X? (and at this point, if they've offered you more vacation, you could say you would take X number of vacation days instead). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/interview-limbo-gamewaitingwaiting#post-1402658 Thu, 06 Feb 2014 08:21:29 +0000 JoJoGirl 1402658@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@babycanuck: NO do NOT ask if there is wiggle room! Feel confident that you deserve more and are entitled to more.</p> <p>"Thank you so much for the offer and I'm really excited about the prospect of working for you. From my research, the going market value for someone with my experience and abilities is closer to $x"</p> <p>It's so hard to say but so important. I bet if you google around "salary negotiation" you can find some good strong wording! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/interview-limbo-gamewaitingwaiting#post-1402655 Thu, 06 Feb 2014 08:18:46 +0000 babycanuck 1402655@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JoJoGirl: I definitely did some research and I think I'm most unsure of wording...how do I say it.</p> <p>"While I appreciate the offer I was wondering if there was wiggle room on salary? I've done some research and an average salary for someone in this type of position is $X to $X?" Sounds so stupid! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/interview-limbo-gamewaitingwaiting#post-1402652 Thu, 06 Feb 2014 08:17:25 +0000 JoJoGirl 1402652@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@babycanuck: There are some posts on HB about negotiating salary. Basically do some research and build a case for why you deserve what you're asking for - ie on salary.com, glassdoor.com, whatever you can find to prove someone of your skills and abilities deserves to make $x. When they make an offer, if it's not what you want, you can counter something higher and back it up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/interview-limbo-gamewaitingwaiting#post-1402649 Thu, 06 Feb 2014 08:15:59 +0000 babycanuck 1402649@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>ugh! I wish people would call me back lol I have no idea how to negotiate for salary if they don't offer me what I"m looking for. Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?</p> <p>I think they're going to offer me more vacation and less money...I don't care for the extra vacation, I hardly take vacation now. I don't know that for a fact but I want to be ready. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/interview-limbo-gamewaitingwaiting#post-1402617 Thu, 06 Feb 2014 07:46:52 +0000 babycanuck 1402617@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@littlek: I hope so!!! I've reached out to some hr friends for advice on negotiating salary because I've never done it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/interview-limbo-gamewaitingwaiting#post-1402616 Thu, 06 Feb 2014 07:45:48 +0000 littlek 1402616@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@babycanuck: do you find out today?
