Why would someone pay you more if you don't even think you are worth that?

Successful interviews have an etiquette of their own that you need to understand in order to use the right tactics and avoid the wrong ones if you want to get your job offer. Once over that hurdle, the real fun and anxiety begins when it’s time to negotiate your new contract, but you can increase the fun and decrease the anxiety by being prepared for those negotiations.

We recently had a smart contract-to-hire person and he started the 1st day by saying "Whoever set all this up did it wrong." It ended up being that his boss was the one that architected it all. Guess what happened? His contract was allowed to lapse with no subsequent conversion to hire. If you have concerns say something more acceptable like "I can't wait to take this to the next level." Next level could mean acceptable levels, but your boss will hear "I'm going to work hard to make this even better." my 2cents This is assuming you got the job, but here’s a tip:
