Typically if the company really wants you then you will hear back within a week. If it goes over that then you are probably not going to get it.

I’m applying for an assistant producers/news writer position and i’m curious about the starting salary? what should i expect? i’m applying to work at a station in a smaller market. They are an abc affiliate in the CT/NY area? I have 2 internships behind me and 3 yrs wokring as a production assistant so i do have a decent amount of experince and the right degrees from the right schools etc … i just do not want to be low balled in the salary negotiation process,

Hi Miacrash,

Good luck on getting the job. I just landed a similar job as a news editor at a radio station in California. If I were you, I’d shoot for $32,000. Here’s a pretty good article on journalism salaries: http://www.collegejournal.com/salarydata/journalism/

Cheers,

Clint Eastwood, Dirty Harry Callahan, whatever you want to call him… Walt Kowalski. He talked to Peter Travers for Peter’s show on ABC News Now, Popcorn, about his role in the self-directed movie, “Gran Torino”. It’s a crime that this wasn’t nominated for an Oscar for anything!!

I am going to be entering the job field in May…
I was offered a job with a salary of $40,000…
I feel as if this salary is WAY below my potential..
I double majored in business with a finance concentration AND in economics.
I am the president of the economics club AND the secretary of a national honors society..
I did some research on payscale and they said that my average worth is $52,000… I would prefer $55,000 because I would need to relocate

How should I negotiate? What salary should I aim for? Am I asking for too much??

btw.. i was offered a 3,000 sign on bonus
and the position is for t.rowe price.. for investment operations

Okay. You say you have a great one-two punch major. Assuming you are entering the market for the first time consider:

-you have no prior corporate experience that proves your skills in the market

-we are in an economic market that has rising unemployment (more competition for the same job) and fewer jobs (less opportunity)

-Bear Stearns employees will soon be flooding the market

If you are at the top 5% of your academic class from a school that has favorable ties to Price, then you are being offered too little. If Price is unfamiliar with the rigors of your academic career, they may be saying: "We like this person, but don’t know a lot about them, let’s give them a shot." There are 1000’s of varations in between.

If this is the place you want, then carefully consider if this is a first step in your career ladder with a reputible company, or if you are willing to continue to look for a better solution.

Good luck!

Ok, so I moved from Arizona (Phoenix) last year to California (Orange County area). I am about to enter an interview for a compliance position in a company that offers payday loans services, cashing checks, moneygram, etc.. How do my future employers determine a salary offer? I made $17 per hour when I working full time back in Arizona for a huge, well-known investment firm. I know that the factor of living in a "high labor or low labor" city will take place.

In addition, how can I tell them what I expect for salary? I currently work part-time for $9 per hour + commissions.

Please answer the following with your advices in order!
1.) I made $17 per hour back in a different state (35,360 per year) but I made around $42,000 per year for the past 2 years for that company (this includes bonus, awards, and over time). How do I word it respectfully what I just said? Should I say "I am looking to make around $35-38 per year. Back @ the company, i made around $42k per year for the past 2 years but that includes few bonuses, awards, and overtime." Is that..ok?

2.) When they posted an ad, it said $12-15 USD per month. It’s obviously a typo error. But it sounds so low for a Compliance Specialist position? What do I do if they ask me "you saw the salary range, but yet you still applied?" How do I put in a nice way "well, I really like the job title and will add the necessary experience to my career goal, i was hoping to see how well of a fit i am in your company?"

3.) Salary was never brought up when I spoke w/ the recruiter (the actual person who I will be working w/) over the phone.

Help!

1) generally when applying to the company, the application will have a section where you can put your expected salary. I’ve found that often they will disregard that anyways. i would personally say its ok to let them know what you think your worth is. you have a unique set of skills, and you think they are worth that much, definitely let them know that and let them know why.

2) i think that would be a good answer for a question like that. like i stated before, they might completely disregard anything you say about salary. maybe they only have a set amount of money in their budget to pay a new hire, or maybe they can hire someone else with the same set of skills who is willing to work for less. but just say the position interested you and its something you really think you’d excel in.

3) that is not uncommon. they wont usually bring it up unless you specifically ask.

good luck!

I applied for a position as a Assistant Director for an Educational Center in my area (Orange County, CA). I had a phone interview with the company today. She asked me what I was expecting to get paid. I told her that with my academic record, and tutoring experience that I was looking for opportunities in the $17-22/hr range (this is an hourly position). She said that most people in this position make between $31-33K a year (the position requires 45-50 – sometimes more – hours of work a week, which means I would be getting paid MUCH less than I was expecting). She also mentioned that although the salary is a little lower than what I am looking for, I wouldn’t be at that position for long before I got promoted.
How do I go about negotiating?? Or was that her way of telling me I’m not going to get paid very much?? I have decided that I would accept $15 an hr… Do you think they will work with me on this? Or am I going to have to accept like 12 bucks or less an hr??
Don’t know if this is important… but before we finished the telephone interview she scheduled me for a 2nd interview…

The reason I am being so picky about compensation is because the job requires so many hours. If I am putting in this much time for the company I want to know that I am being compensated enough for my work.

You can always ask for your rate. If they say no and you are still willing to accept, at least you tried.

Give it a shot – good luck!
