Salary research and negotiation is an important part of the job
search process. The more information you have, the better prepared
you will be to negotiate a fair rate of pay. The Career
Services Salary Negotiation handout (PDF)
is a good starting place. You are also welcome to speak
with a career counselor in the Career Services Center for personalized
salary information and advice for entering a salary negotiation.
