How do I know what Im worth
I have a Master's of Communications Certificate and a Master's Degree in English. I have a history of mainly food and beverage (management, bartender, etc.), mortgage and real estate experience, media (on air radio), and administrative in a very small office experience. I've recently applied to a large insurance/banking firm for an administrative position in hopes of learning the company and eventually being recognized as capable of public relations project management or corporate training. This company is trying to develop a new position for which they think I would fit very well. It will be to handle the recruiters who come into the office on a regular basis, stay on top of their records and maintain paperwork, and to ensure they are doing their job. The number of recruiters that come in at any given time are 2 to 4. For this type of low level management position which will also include some administrative work, how do I know what to ask for in a salary? They want to know my range so they'll have a number to tell corporate in trying to get this new position approved. Advise has been anywhere from a minimum of $40k (based on my education) to $50k. Currently, I'm only working a part-time job (the small office mentioned above) that pays $15 an hour as I've been finishing my second Master's. Salary calculators tell me the range for an HR type of position is anywhere from $51k to $65k. Help! I don't know what salary range to tell them without either low balling myself or scaring them off of me altogether! Thank you! | |
