Negotiating Salary/Benefits - Page 3

Flint · 09-15-2008, 10:19 AM

So, I think I found my dream job. This week I'm meeting with the HR guy, I assume for them to extend me an offer.

I've already heard (through the grapevine) that they will try to lowball me, and I assumed that they might, as this is a new and very small facility (1/10th the capacity of my current one).

On the other hand, they do need the talent, I've already met the CIO (he loved me), and they're going to have to entice me to drive (and be on call) from an hour away.

I've never had to negotiate with an HR guy before.

*** What kind of Jedi mind tricks could he pull?

*** What tactics/ammunition should I have prepared?

*** What else do I need to know? What is your experience with this?

I call upon thee, oh Dwellars of great and mighty experience, plz help!
