Early in the Process

“I’d need to know more

about the job before I

could answer that”


“I’m sure you’ll make

me a fair offer based

upon the work I’ll be

doing and the

experience I bring”




“Salary is important.

What is also important to

me is the work. I’d like to

ask about…..”


“You seem concerned

about the salary. What is

the position budgeted

for?”




“Salary is appropriate to

discuss when there is a

job offer. Are you offering

me the job? ”


“Salary is only part of

the compensation

package. I’d need to

know more about the

other aspects.”



When they make you an offer..

• Say “hmmm” and pause

• Express interest in the job and ask for time

to think about it


When you get back to them

• Repeat your interest in the job and the

company and that you are confident it is a fit

• Repeat what you heard them offer

• Ask if they can do any better on the salary

• Either way say “I see” and then negotiate

anything else before accepting

• Get all agreements in writing
