We recently asked our Lenovo recruitment team (Krista Jaeckel and Erin Jernigan) to share some tips for negotiating your salary during the interview process. Their answers are below.

What are some tips for negotiating your salary?

Krista Jaekel:

Know your worth! Have an understanding of the market (specific field, location, experience level). Do your research.

Erin Jernigan:

- Show that you have done market research

- Highlight what differentiates you from other candidates and specific examples on how you have made the business successful (try and tie it to money and/or time saved)

    Here is THE MOST IMPORTANT THING TO KNOW: Do YOU make your bosses job EASIER AND THE COMPANY MORE MONEY/BETTER RESULTS? If the answer is "YES" then you check your market value and IF conditions are good ask for a raise. If the answer is "NO" then figure out what YOU need to do to make they answer "YES" then go DO THOSE THINGS! You might be shocked to hear this but this is a FAIL-PROOF way to get a raise.
