Wonder Woman Bracelet # 1
Early in the Process
“I’d need to know more
about the job before I
could answer that”

“I’m sure you’ll make
me a fair offer based
upon the work I’ll be
doing and the
experience I bring”

“Salary is important.
What is also important to
me is the work. I’d like to
ask about…..”

“You seem concerned
about the salary. What is
the position budgeted
for?”

“Salary is only part of
the compensation
package. I’d need to
know more about the
other aspects.”

“Salary is appropriate to
discuss when there is a
job offer. Are you offering
me the job? ”

When they make you an offer..
• Say “hmmm” and pause
• Express interest in the job and ask for time
to think about it

When you get back to them
• Repeat your interest in the job and the
company and that you are confident it is a fit
• Repeat what you heard them offer
• Ask if they can do any better on the salary
• Either way say “I see” and then negotiate
anything else before accepting
• Get all agreements in writing
