A good site to check out is www.salary.com.  You can check various jobs/careers, for your area, level of experience, etc.\n\nGood luck with the interview!!

Make a case by showing your boss exactly what your expenses are and what that amounts to in an hourly wage.  That shows that you aren't just asking for the sake of asking.

Probably anywhere between $90 and $120.  You can call them and they can give you an estimate over the phone.

Here are a couple of suggestions:\n1) Say in your email that it's negotiable but expand it by saying you would like to learn more about the responsibilites and duties of the prior to discussing salary.\n2) Another approach is to say that you are looking at replacing your career/position and not your salary.

I think it is acceptable to ask if the right time presents itself. So set the conversation to where you can mention it, nonchalantly. Regardless though it is important for you to figure out is this a job you really want, are you tired of your old job? If so go for it anyways regardless of the salary. Your family will support you.

Don't discuss salary until you are offered the job.  If they ask during the interview, say "I'm open to negotiate." or "I currently make __________ and I'm open to negotiate."  I prefer to stick with the first, not saying what I currently make.  You don't want to underbid yourself when they might be willing to pay more.  When they give you the job offer, it will include their offer of salary.  This is when you start to negotiate. You can negoiate benefits, vacation time, work schedule, office space or whatever you feel is important to you.  If you insist I pick one of the options above, I'd say "$45k to $55k thousand depending on the benefits offered."  (Benefits are a huge chuck so you have a right to have a 10k range depending on benefits.  Whatever you do, make $45 your lowest.  You know what you're worth so don't compromise unless you have to keep food on the table.

You guys I'm not trying to be smart a__ but that salarywizard is Not right, especially for the south. It's usually much lower than even the "lowest median salary". I'm not kidding! Call a nursing school at a college such as Emory or Univ. Of Georgia, ask to speak to the Admissions office. Befriend the person, ask who you should speak to- I would think the career adviser. Or i bet the nurses have a society in GA of some type, google this. A Licensed Practical Nurse just starting out is not a Registered Nurse- this would obviously vary greatly where you worked- a nursing home? Home health care? Caring for granny while her kids paid you? $36,000? In rural GA or Atlanta? Get real, there's no way to quantify this via an internet site. You need to talk to girlfriend nurses in the town where you are applying. I had a client this year who worked doing nursing tasks in a nursing home in a mid-sized city in AL. She had a lot of experience. I don't know if she was a L.P.N. but she made exactly minimum wage. Don't shoot the messenger, lol...

An employee and an employer should be able to decide what the fair market wage is for the job at hand.  If $8.50 is what the market dictates then that should be a good starting point.  If you feel you are worth more and can show the employer that they would be better off in hiring you at a higher rate than some other bloke off the street then you and the employer should be able to negotiate that.\n\nIn Liberty,\nEric H.

Situations like these can be tricky. One doesn't want to be pushy and be adamant that they want more than what was offered but at the same time if that is done it could prove beneficial to you in the end when you walk away the winner in the salary negotiation.\n\nMy honest suggestion would be to take the $12.00 per hour and hope that the raise may come soon. Most times employer give new staff members probation periods to prove themselves and when that time has expired, if they are satisfied with your work, you end up getting a raise. Good luck.

I think in this situation I would probably give $50. Ultimately, it depends on what you can afford. If you have some flexibility in your budget, give some thought to how generous your boss is in these situations. But don't go overboard (no more than $100, IMO) because it might seem like you're brown-nosing.\n\nGood luck!

If the Union is concurring with this job offer then have them explain to you, in full, what its all about and what it entails.  Never go into anything blindly.  I'm sure your Union means well but you will be held accountable for your choice.

do a little research on the company so if they ask questions you can answer them. dress respectably.maybe even, if you are nervous plan a speech and go over it or write it down on an index card. don't bring up salary for a bit. you want them to mostly know that you really want the job. rock thier socks! i hope you get the job. oh, and um, get some sleep the night before. people hire people who look respectable. this one guy had three guys who wanted a job. he hired the one who had shined thier shoes. if you respect yourself, others will too.

I'd get a general idea of how much overtime they will be wanting out of you, because salary is just another way of saying your our b*tch now, and add that ontop of what you think your worth.

Depends on how badly you inflated the number you told them.  \n\nIf it is not too outrageous, you can give them the dollar amount with the explanation that that the figure you gave them included benefits, tuition reimbursements, parking, vacation pay and whatever other applicable perks you can think of *IN ADDITION* to your salary.\n\nThey probably expect some inflation, so if your figure is not totally out of proportion, they still may go for it - or at least, offer you the job at a lower, proportional, rate.\n\ngood luck.

Here is the position:\nhttp://www.timewarner.com/corp/careers/jobtools_us/index.html\nDoesn't say salary. I assume you negotiate.

research web sites that track the salaries of various types of positions.  They will tell you what type of skills that person should have.  If you have all of those then you should be confident that you should be able to demand that much.\nIf your salary is well under the average then your employer will not want to match the median price and you will have to get a job elsewhere in order to get the price your looking for.
