  • Is it true that you CANNOT negotiate salary for a civil service position (working for the state)?

    Posted by admin on May 21st, 2010 and filed under negotiate salary | 3 Comments »

    Some people say you cannot negotiate salary for a civil service position. The salary is between 39,000 and 53,000. Is it true you get what you get and you cannot negotiate salary with a state position?

    The " between 39 and 53" depends on experience . Also, these jobs are civil service and veterans get preference.. BIG preference.

    The salary is usually " take it or leave it" unless you have a particular in-demand skill and/.or tears of experience.

      Not true. You can negotiate anything!

      For civil service jobs, they often pay you about 5% above your previous job.

      They are normally union contract jobs, and the salaries are set for a particular job and pay grade step. The only thing you might be able to negotiate is whether your experience should place you at a higher level, and that depends on the contract.
