Why it is important to negotiate salary? How the journal will help in doing so.
Salary negotiation has the potential to influence your current earnings, career advancement, long-term financial trajectory, and — most importantly — job satisfaction.
Unlike promotions, which come with increased responsibilities and higher expectations, a successful salary negotiation can boost your income with no addition to the amount of work or expectations.
Because of my experience as a hiring manager and a career coach, I understand the intricacies of both worlds and the importance of strategic salary negotiation.
●
You might be met with interpersonal resistance. Don't worry -
these situations are designed to test you and your negotiating mettle.
●
You'll have to provide examples of how your skillset results in
contributions that benefit your employer. Bring any documentation that can help
you advocate for yourself.
● And finally — build a concrete plan before stepping into the negotiation. Have a specific amount in mind. Understand what the job should pay for a person with your abilities.
However, negotiating salary can be uncomfortable for some people, as it may feel like a confrontation or a challenge to your employer’s assessment of your worth. But not negotiating can also cost you.
When you negotiate salary, you’re not just negotiating the number that will appear on your next paycheck. Taking less than you deserve can hurt your performance and even your mental well-being.
However, the worst thing you can do is impulsively schedule a salary negotiation appointment with your supervisor without a plan A, B, or C. Throughout the years, I've worked closely with many recruiter partners, gaining valuable experience as a certified interview, salary, and career coach, and recently, I even guided a client to an astonishing $70,000 salary increase.
Now, I'm excited to share my expertise through my very own career planner — "My Career Journal", designed specifically to encourage you to critically evaluate your current situation, plan for the future, and translate your creative energy into actionable steps.
And one of my favorite parts of "My Career Journal" is the salary negotiation section. This section empowers you with the skill and strategic mindset to navigate your future salary negotiations successfully. After completing it, you'll be well-prepared to articulate your value and secure desirable terms regarding salary, perks, and overall compensation.
●
The salary information section: List everything you know about
your current salary, pay band, benefits, and perks. Research whether your
current salary aligns with your true worth in the market.
●
The salary goals section: After sufficient research, you
can begin to Visualize your salary goals, including your target salary,
industry benchmarks, walkaway figure, and desired benefits.
● My exclusive salary negotiation checklist: a list of dos and don'ts for negotiating your salary. Use it to advocate for yourself during the negotiation process.
