Re: Offer LetterFrom what I've gleaned over the years: * Don't bring up a possible salary figure DURING the interview process because you'll immediately be dumped if your expectation is beyond what the hiring manager *wants* to pay with no consideration given to your non-financial advantages (very desirable skill set, consistently good accomplishments at previous jobs, impeccable references, etc.). * Don't try to negotiate a possible salary figure AFTER the interview process because the hiring manager already has determined what you'll be paid and your resistance is futile (again, even with your very desirable skill set, consistently good accomplishments at previous jobs, impeccable references, etc.). Is one or the other more successful in your option? I know that both approaches are used, but I just thought I'd ask. Life's a gamble. -- Ken in Atlanta -----Original Message----- From: techwr-l-bounces+poshedlyk=polysius -dot- com -at- lists -dot- techwr-l -dot- com [mailto:techwr-l-bounces+poshedlyk=polysius -dot- com -at- lists -dot- techwr-l -dot- com] On Behalf Of Gene Kim-Eng Sent: Sunday, January 07, 2007 3:50 PM To: vrfour -at- verizon -dot- net; techwr-l -at- lists -dot- techwr-l -dot- com Subject: Re: Offer Letter Well, you could try recontacting whoever you interviewed with to determine if there is an opportunity to revisit their classification of your grade compared to your actual experience. However, my guess is that in the case you postulate it will turn out they know perfectly well that your actual experience would make you a TW2, 3 or 4 but you got the TW1 offer because that's all the budget for the position will cover.

Do you draft a counter-offer that a government position, but what if...? ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ __________________________ This e-mail message and any attachment contains private and confidential information and is intended for the addressee only.
