Nail the Salary Negotiation

Especially as you advance in your career, you’ll find that talented, reliable IT workers are in great demand. But despite this fact, many talented IT workers don’t take the opportunity to negotiate their salaries when changing jobs.

Seize that opportunity by arming yourself with data on what other people with your title and similar levels of experience are making. Visit the salary calculator on our Job Search page to get a good idea of the averages. Then adjust your sights based on the situation you’re getting into.

Check out Matthew Moran’s guide to Getting the Salary You Deserve, for more tips. If you stay creative, remain firm, and start the negotiation process early, you’re much more likely to end up with the salary you want then just the one the company is offering.

    Set up your resume as a website, with various pages for various catagories, then burn it to CD's to send out to prospective employers.

    My guess is this would be a real attention getter, and noone you send it to will forget you.

    This is all good and well, but after you have the degrees in hand and the certifications - how then are you supposed to prove to the perspective company you are capable if they are not willing to give you a chance? Simple..don't depend on companies like Monster.com and Career builder.com to do your hunting, why waste money when you can freelance? Get your name out and get noticed - the real companies want to see what you can do, how you operate and your overall temperament. You went to school, you got the degrees now kick the walls of defiance and find that job!
