    What if your offer is not what you like/want. How do you continue the
    negotiation to ask for a higher offer? Do you then just ask straight up
    this is the hourly/salary range I’m look for for?

    I need more specifics to give you an answer. Remember, a negotiation is
    something where they don’t have to pay you what you want. If you are
    looking for an amount slightly higher, they try my “Easiest Way to
    Negotiate a Higher Salary” video. If there is large difference (whatever
    that means to you), it may mean the two of you don’t see eye to eye on
    compensation. Then it’s up to you to make a choice about how flexible you
    might be. Sorry YouTube limits the length of the response

    Chris, I am happy to hear that you are another “happy graduate” of my
    videos. I’m glad they contributed to you finding a new position. You did
    the hard work; I just steered you through the process so that you
    understood the rules better. Job hunting doesn’t have to be hard or
    painful. It’s just that people think that having the skills to do a job
    means you know how to find a job. It doesn’t. It just meand you can get in
    the arena with the gladiator. Good luck!
