Discussing the salary offer
TIPS
Finally, there are several things to consider when discussing the salary offer. First, you should be prepared with options. Most employers are willing to negotiate, but they need to know you are also willing. Be sure to have established your absolute bottom acceptable figure and be prepared to walk away if necessary. You may have to explain your salary history or use it to justify the desired salary. Be prepared with facts and figures. Anticipate any objections the employer might be able to raise and be prepared to justify your cost effectiveness. Negotiating a salary package reconfirms to the employer that the decision to hire you over other applicants was the right choice. Make intelligent, well-informed salary statements and be sure your requested salary range is within the market value for your profession in the geographic area.
• Present a salary range that demonstrates your knowledge of the local market value.
• When requesting a salary range be sure to include a record of your contributions that defend the amount of compensation you are requesting.
• Demonstrate the benefit to the organization in paying you more.
• Be realistic in the amount requested.
• Be sure to include other types of compensation that would be valuable.
• Address the interests of the boss; therefore, know the interests of the boss.
• Proposal should be grounded on objective criteria.


RESPONSES
Bad Answer: “I want to make as much as possible. An impressive salary is the reason you get into health care, right? I won’t settle for less than twice as much as I make now. And trust me, I’m worth it.”
Better Answer: “I would like to make roughly $50,000 annually, which is slightly more than I currently make. But, of course, the more the better!”
Best Answer: “I would like to make $45,000 – $50,000 annually. I believe that my five years of experience in the field plus the additional health care certifications I earned last year add to my value as an employee. However, I got into health care to make a difference, and salary is secondary to working at a job I love.”

Beg or no beg, report. if hr broda is a no go area 4 tinz like dis, tel mama and papa. One day d guy may drug ur friend n hv his way and she wil become 'another one down' on his list.

Love is eternal. Lust, how fickle!

@Lord_Reed
1.The guy may not take it as a serious issue if itz just his friend (d girl's broda) confronting him.
2. What if her broda says forgive and forget; or is afraid to confront his friend; or has had his share of escapade wit his friend's cousins since he has no sister?
3. It wil do somethin to a normal thinking guy wen a girl reports him of sexual harrasment, no matter how mild, to her parents especially her mother. A sensible guy wil read this as a warning sign of 'keep off' & d girl would be safe.
4. This guy wud find it difficult to repeat d nefarious act once he knows d entire family is aware of his misdeed, if he has any shame at all.
5. A girl's motherhood virtue is sacred. The little any family can do wud b 2 join her, as a matter of collective responsibility, in protecting it from scoundrels posing as family friends.
6. Better girls = better mothers = better homes = better society!

Proper lust! After havin his way, ol boy wil dump hr n may even begin 2 hate hr.If u r a xtian, read wat happend in 2nd Samuel 13 to Absalom's fair sister which was also  King David's  daughter. Perhaps he's bin friend 2 d family 4 dis singular reason. D excuse dat he's an only child does not fly wit me. Am an only child in some sense but datz no license 2 engage in such despicable act. Sure u can get tempted bt control urself. If u want hr so bad, ask hr hand in marriage.
Ol girl somebdy wants 2 violate ur motherhood virtues n u r talkin about his yeye feelins? Does he care about urs? Assuming say e succeed n u com get S.T.D., hw u go do? Beta report am now 2 ur family because  e go try d rubbish again, and wen e 'shelle' e go say na u pursue am so tay u find am go him house. I b guy n I no how dem dey behave.
