I Got a Job Offer Today, Need Negotiation Tips!

[DemureNatural]

Your missing the point. Get your foot in the door and then take of the hinges when you are inside. Let your work ethic and performance get you that raise and full time position.

I interviewed and hired GS civilians when I was in the middle east for IT. All though applicants wanted to be a GS9 or 10 wtih a few steps in as their way of negotiating, I would tell them 'no', because I want to know what type of worker you are. I am not wasting government dollars on someone who 'thinks' they deserve more without me even verifying and seeing their potential. Unless you are coming in upper management with a graduate degree and at least 10+ years of experience with a proven track of improving the organization, then you are in no position to negotiate - and that's a fact.

Remember, the employers are not desperate for work. If you are sick and tired of "at least you got a job", maybe you should read between the lines and understand why people are telling you that. I would say 'good luck' to you, but it looks like you already going to shoot yourself in the foot - so 'do you' lol ctfu

Thanks for your advice... I actually didn't shoot myself in the foot...I negotiated and was able to get 18K on top of my salary (which is $5 more than I said on here that I wanted) AND a 3 week start date....If that's shooting myself in the foot.....

That's great.
Regarding health insurance, you are probably making way more than enough to qualify for the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (Obamacare). Go online and search blue cross/blue shield. Buy a package that fits your needs and one that you can afford. I did that when I was in between jobs. You can get a cheaper package if you don't see any upcoming surgeries in the next couple of months.

i know playing it safe isn't always the way to go. But i would hold out for a full time position. to leave a job with benefits for a 4 to 6 month position doesnt sound reasonable. Stop assuming they are gonna hire you. YOu dont know that. If anything, dont burn bridges with your current job. tell them the situation. that way you can get your old job back if things dont work out. Does this new company hire a lot of black people(im assuming your black). do your research.
