Summary
Regardless of your employment status, it is usually reassuring to know what your dollar value is on the open market. As you search for a new position, internally or externally, it is critical to have an idea of your worth relative to the salary range of your position. Doing your homework before you ever go for the interview helps you focus on the content instead of worrying about compensation. Each position within an organization has a dollar value. Companies come up with their salary structures by examining benchmarks for comparable positions within their industry, function, and demographic location. Remember, employers place a value on the specifications they have assigned to a specific position, regardless of the occupant. If you want to boost your compensation, you will have to boost what you do -- and knowing what your skills and abilities are worth in your selected marketplace will give you something solid to talk about when it comes to salary negotiation.
