Great advice. Reminds me of my last job interview, and how bad I must have flubbed it. Oddly enough, I actually did land the position. This article will definitely stick with me in my next interview.

Keep in mind, the salary you negotiate will probably stick with you for at least the next six to twelve months, and may impact future raises as well. It’s great to land the job, but not if you stunt your long-term salary potential! By using tip number four, you minimize the risk of losing the job offer over the salary.

These are great tips. I hope to not have to brush up on them anytime soon. I particuarly like the list of qualifications. I think it is smart to address your best qualities. If you have more than that is great. It will allow you to pull them out at a later date.

I remember the last time i was involved in the hiring decision of a potential employee. I can say that for me personality was almost as important as qualifications. This may not be the wisest choice depending on the position but when you work in a small space i feel people will get more work done in a happy social environment with someone with a little less skill then in a tense environment with an employee that had a flawless resume and skill set.

I thought #4 was really good. Salary is always such a weird thing to talk about with an interviewer. I feel like if i tell them what i want, they might give the position to someone else who can undercut me.
