Tips When Discussing Salary:
Wait until after you have completed your phone screen to inquire on salary.
It's okay to ask the Recruiter what the minimum and maximum salary is for the position
Know your worth, don't undersell yourself, and be realistic.
Be detailed in your resume and be sure to include your education, experience, certification and any licenses obtained. Salary is based on all these factors so you want to ensure you receive credit for the following.
Some company's may offer more money but it doesn't mean it's always greener on the other side. Take into account your total compensation package. This includes wages, benefits, retirement, bonuses, etc...
If the salary isn't a match of what you're looking for, don't proceed with interviewing if you're not satisfied by the potential offer. This will save everyone's time.
Should an offer be made and you need more time to think about it, let the Recruiter know you need a few days to think about, but don't take too long. It's suggested to take no more than 2-3 days to come up with your decision.
