Estimate your living expenses (7)  \nIt’s important to know what salary you will need to meet expenses. While some expenses, like loans, may stay the same regardless of your location, others—like rent, transportation and the cost of food can vary depending upon where you live.  \nCheck out these cost of living calculators:  \nhttp://www.payscale.com/cost-­‐of-­‐living-­‐calculator  \nhttps://www. nerdwallet.com/cost-­‐of-­‐living-­‐calculator/  \nK-­‐State’s Powercat Financial Counseling is an excellent free resource to help students with personal financial planning and budgeting. Contact them at http://www. k-­‐state.edu/pfc/  \n2. Research salaries (8)  \nThere are a variety of resources that can help you determine a salary range for the position you are seeking. To get amore complete picture, use multiple resources, and when possible, evaluate differences by location and specific job title.  \nwww.k-­‐state.edu/ces/students/kstatepostgradstats.html [www.salary.com](www.salary.com)  \n[www.glassdoor.com](www.glassdoor.com)  \n[www.payscale.com](www.payscale.com)  \n[http://www.bls.gov/ooh/](http://www.bls.gov/ooh/)  \n3. Consider your skills and strengths and what the company needs (2)  \nReview the job description again in detail. What skills and expertise is the employer seeking? Next reflect on your personal skills and strengths. In particular, focus on those that overlap with the employer’s needs. Use these skills and experiences as evidence to support your discussion about salary. Make the connection between your skills and the position—how will they help the employer? This will help you make the case for your target salary.  \n4. Practice what you will say to the employer when asked about salary expectations or when given an offer. You can make an appointment with an advisor at the Career Center for help with preparing for a negotiation or with reviewing and responding to a specific offer.  \nFAQs  \nWhen should I bring up salary to an employer? ( 2)  \nWait until an offer is made to bring up salary, rather than bringing it during in an interview. Ideally you will be able to respond to a specific offer, rather than being the first one to mention it.  \nWhat should I do if an employer asks about my salary expectations? (2, 5, 8, 9)  \nSometimes an employer will ask about your salary expectations, either in the application, or during the interview or atthe time of the job offer. It’s best if you can deflect this question. Following are some of the ways employers may ask about your salary expectations:  \nOn the application: If possible, list “negotiable.” If a number is required, provide your target salary or a range based on your research (See Tip \\#2 above) .  \nDuring the interview:  Try something like—“I’m really interested in the position but would like to learn more about it before discussing salary.”  \nAfter the interview: Try initially to politely avoid answering the question: “This position seems like an excellent fit forme. I would certainly be glad to consider a specific offer.”  \nWhat should I do when I receive an offer? (2)  \nWhether you receive an offer in person, on the phone or via email, it is usually advisable to take some time to reflect. Be sure you have full information about benefits in addition to salary.  \nOffers received in person or on the phone: If you are interested in the position, thank the person for the offer, then ask to receive the offer in writing. Also ask when they will need a response from you. Find out how they would prefer you get back in touch with them—phone or email?  \nOffers received in writing: It may seem like once an offer is in writing it can’t be changed, but written offers can still be negotiated.  \nHow do I begin the negotiation? (1, 2)  \nSometimes salary and/or benefits don’t meet expectations in the initial offer. To begin a negotiation, you will need tobe prepared with your research and be able to talk abo","cbCaikW7dRdMrDpC","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaikW7dRdMrDpC","pdf",586349,"English","# Tips for Getting Started\n## Estimate Your Living Expenses\n## Research Salaries\n## Consider Your Skills and Strengths\n## Practice Your Salary Discussion\n# FAQs\n## When Should I Bring Up Salary?\n## How Should I Handle Salary Expectations?\n## What Should I Do When I Receive an Offer?\n## How Do I Begin the Negotiation?\n## How to Evaluate and Negotiate Benefits","[{\"question\":\"When should salary be brought up to an employer?\",\"answer\":\"Wait until an offer is made instead of mentioning salary during the interview.
