Research Salaries and Negotiate Offers
Ahead of the Offer: Do Your Research
To begin, familiarize yourself with Assumption’s Employer Recruiting Policy (covering written offers and reasonable consideration timelines) and Student Recruiting Policy.
Job Offer
A job offer is defined as an invitation from an employer to work in a specific paid role. It is usually the last stage in the job search process. Job offers typically include terms and conditions for the job position. Please keep in mind that you should evaluate the entire offer letter as a whole package, including benefits and other non-cash compensation besides monetary compensation. The Denecker Career Development & Internship Center is happy to help you evaluate the offer.
Salary Expectations
One of the most valuable pieces of information you can have as a candidate is a clear understanding of salary trends in your industry. Factors such as the economic climate and job location can significantly influence pay, so it’s important to do your research. Tools like the ETC Salary Calculator can help you gauge typical salary ranges for your field. Since interviewers often ask about salary expectations, it’s wise to prepare by knowing the competitive range for the roles you’re targeting.
