Salary Negotiation Tips Salary Research for Specialized Areas

Salary Negotiation Tips Salary Research for Specialized AreasSalary Negotiation Tips Salary Research for Specialized AreasHow can I find out the salary range for a niche area of expertise?Q My question is compensation related. I work in a specialized area within the asset management industry and am having a very difficult time finding out what my peers compensation range is. I have tried to contact McLagan but they cannot provide any guidance as my company has hired them as consultants. I have asked around on social networks via industry groups that I am a member of and also through my network of contacts, all have turned up unsuccessful. Do you have any other suggestions for how I can find out what the average compensation levels are for my particular job?A Congratulations on doing all the research youve done so far - youve gone beyond what most people would. One suggestion would be to conduct your own salary survey. Get lists of names of people doing your kind of work in noncompet ing areas. Contact those people and tell them youre doing a salary survey. Tell them that in exchange for their participation, you will be glad to send them a summary of the survey once its completed. Make sure you have an up-to-date LinkedIn profile so they can check your veracity. It will help to establish your credibility and create a level of trust. Not everyone will participate, but you could find that people would in exchange for the information. Best of luck to you.

5 Reasons to Share Your Resume with Your New Manager

5 Reasons to Share Your Resume with Your New Manager5 Reasons to Share Your Resume with Your New Manager5 Reasons to Share Your Resume with Your New ManagerScot Herrick is the owner of Cube Rules, LLC. His web site, CubeRules.com, provides support for career-minded individuals who typically work in corporate cubicles, people he describes as Cubicle Warriors. Scot has a long history of work experience, including management roles in Fortune 500 corporations.If you work in a large corporation, chances are youll go through managers like you go through socks. In my 18-year stint at one Fortune 500 company, I never had the same manager for two straight annual reviews.What happens to you when you get a new manager? Your old manager tells the new manager all about you, whether the information is accurate or not. So his very first impression of you is the impression your old manager has of you. Then your new manager looks at what you deliver and tries to fit that initial impression with the a ctions you take.Consider how many times this could happen in a 5-year stay with one company. It can be a vicious cycle. But you can break it by scheduling a short meeting with your new manager to review your resume and show him exactly what you can do. How does this work?You create a new impression of your workHow many people do you know who voluntarily review their resumes with their new managers? Ill bet none. So right off the bat, youre making a distinct impression of how you operate. Youre showing your manager that youre serious about the work you do.You can discuss your job skills and accomplishmentsMost managers wont know the full range of your job skills, especially the ones you acquired through past experiences with previous employers. Theres a good chance they wont even know all of your accomplishments. Once, I applied for a new position within my department and no one on my management team thought it was smart to interview me until I showed them my resume, which revealed that I had performed all sorts of work at my previous company that fit the job requirements perfectly.You can make a case for a better positionRemember, the company already hired you If youve been there for, say, only two years, you most likely have a wide range of accomplishments and capabilities that your new manager has no idea you have. By going through your resume and showing your skills, and you can end up getting better work to do.You can avoid referencing your previous managerBy covering your skills through a review of your resume, you avoid engaging in any trash talk about your former manager. If your new manager questions some of the former managers decisions, you can simply say that the manager didnt choose to use all of your job skills.You can talk about career pathYour resume should show solid progression to more responsibility and bigger accomplishments. And that logically leads to a discussion about your next desired assignment to help your career. If youre working in a department that has a range of work that demands different skills, you can address the ones you want to strengthen and see if your new manager will help you do that.Now, when you get that new manager as the result of a corporate reorganization, you can create the right impression right away by sharing your resume.
