Question #15: Once you've been offered the job, you can start negotiating your salary.

Answer: TRUE. It's a cardinal sin of job-hunting to start discussing salary before an employer makes a job offer, but once an offer has been made, you may start negotiating for the best salary and benefits package you can get.

You can find some great tips by going through the Quintessential Careers Salary and Job Offer Negotiation Tutorial. Or, take a look at all our salary negotiation resources by going to this section of Quintessential Careers: Salary Negotiation and Job Offer Tools and Resources.

One final word of strategy: Once the negotiation is complete, make sure you get the whole deal –- salary and benefits –- in writing.

Reminder: You can find many more career and job-search tools, resources, and guidance in the Career Resources Toolkit section of Quintessential Careers. And for the specific needs of different types of job-seekers, go to the Jobseeker-Specific Career and Job Sites.
