The CV Store is one of the UK's leading CV writing companies. CVs.co.uk
has teamed up with them to provide our visitors with a breakdown of some
useful counter-proposal tips:
Ideally, delay all salary negotiations for the longest possible time
and do not negotiate straight after an offer
Investigate the package you have been offered and ensure you have
clearly identified the areas of the specific package you would like
improved prior to initiating negotiations
Fully research the average salary of people in similar positions -
consider contacting other firms advertising similar vacancies to get
an idea as to what you should be looking for
NEVER make demands
If you are relocating, mention this in your negotiations
Never make it look as though you need the money / are desperate -
this will significantly decrease your chances of successful negotiation
If the salary is not negotiable, ask for improvements in other areas
of the package you have been offered - such as holiday allowances, etc.
