Despite education level, sector, or country all throughout the world women earn less than their male colleagues.

The International Labour Organization (ILO) estimates that women on average continue to be paid about 20% less than men across the world.

In the U.S. women earn on average 23% less than white males.

Which means they make $0.55 for every $1 a white, non-Hispanic man makes.

Negocia How to negotiate once you have a job offer

[/ultimate_heading][ultimate_spacer height=»15″][minti_unordered_list style=»dotcircle» color=»accent» show_separator=»no»]

  • For every position there are salary ranges. Negotiators usually offer the lowest amount. 
  • Check if the amount offered matches with the information you have researched.
  • Prepare your strategies with all the information you have and your value statement.
  • Think about the objections your negotiator may raise. Think of various answers with documented information, reason your thoughts and show your professional value.
  • Your personal experience is not a reason to pay you more. Your professional skills, discipline, strategic thought process, focus on results and capacity to reach good goals are reasons to pay you more.
  • Orally practice your conversations with the negotiator.
  • Practice controlling your emotions.
  • Remember to keep silent after expressing your rational arguments to give them time to absorb and think about them.

Traza la cancha In your salary negotiation

[/ultimate_heading][ultimate_spacer height=»15″][minti_unordered_list style=»dotcircle» color=»accent» show_separator=»no»]

  • Have confidence in yourself. 
  • Have a positive attitude.
  • Control your internal dialogue and any negative thought.
  • Remember it is a conversation not a confrontation.
  • Getting to this point means they consider you a valuable person.
  • “Traza la cancha” and reconfirm exactly the functions you must perform according to your conversations. If they ask you to translate, ask for a separate rate.
  • If the job offer does not match what the market pays for these functions, respectfully let the employer know that from your research the salary range for that position if higher and that you bring an added cultural value.
  • Listen carefully to your negotiator and build intelligently on their arguments to be the person they need in that position.
  • If the company cannot or will not offer a higher salary find compensation in other areas of the contract. 
  • Do not accept the salary until you see the whole benefits package.
  • Every contract comes with a set of conditions, negotiate the best for you: life insurance, mobilization assistance, training, mentoring, vacation days, flexible hours, telecommuting and prospects for future advancements.
