"I'm Don Varney of Varney Speaks and on behalf of Expert Village. Today we're going to talk about the interview process. Finally, the last thing that we would want to talk about would be salary negotiations. When you're involved with your salary negotiations, it's up to you to have already done your homework. If they list a job as an account executive and it's range is 22.5-27.5, everybody thinks they need the 27.5. Not necessarily true. Not everybody gets to start at the top of the ladder. If you're expecting 57.5, why are you there? Generally, firms give you that area of salary because that's what they are really absolutely willing to pay. They're programmed to pay from 22-27.5 based on your experience and your background because that's how much they budgeted for that position. If you're expecting way outside that, even 5,000 dollars. If you're expecting 32 or 35 thousand, chances are you're not going to get the job. Why waste in interviewer's time and why waste your time by even going there? We don't need practice that bad."
