A must-read for a great interview.......2004-03-06
Like reading an advertisement.......2002-07-05
I give the book one star because it does have good tips on salary negotiation, but I think there are other books out there that "have it all," including the salary neg. tips. My personal fave is "60 seconds & You're Hired" by Robin Ryan. I've read it before a few job interviews and have felt prepared and confident. 5 O'clock Club, on the other hand, feels like a big homework assignment I just don't want to face.
Excellent - easily worth the money!.......1999-12-05
It provides an effective, concise series of steps for getting and surviving interviews, getting offers, and negotiating the perks. Real-world cases demonstrate each of the steps and how to (and not to) execute them.
For job seekers and consultants alike, the author highlights the not-so-obvious fact that job descriptions are usually very flexible. By helping the hiring manager customize the role to fit your strengths and demonstrate your value, you can justify higher pay, yield a job you'll be happier with, and become more valuable than your competitors.
The chapters on salary negotiation are particularly good, especially sections on properly timing the salary negotiation (i.e., after you've shown the hiring manager the value of your particular skills) and handling objections during the process.
This book seems to be part of a series by the Five O'Clock Club. Their title on "Targeting the Job You Want" sounds like it might also be an excellent accompanyment, helping Job Seekers first define the kind of role they should be seeking.

Insights on how employers calculate an employee's value.......2001-02-13
Show me the Money.......2000-07-24
Dynamite Salary Negotiations focuses on money, specifically how the reader can most effectively position himself to receive the highest compensation for a particular position. This book is especially useful because it openly discusses the traditionally secretive process of salary negotiation. In the United States especially, discussing one's salary and how he/she negotiated his/her last salary is a cultural taboo; therefore, it is very difficult to learn from others how to develop this skill. In contrast, many people will give you tips based on their experience about how they successfully engaged in a job search or how they performed in an interview. This book uses a direct style to compensate for the gaps that our culture has created allowing the reader to develop skills and techniques that will help him/her with the last step in accepting a position.
As with any negotiation, preparation is the key element for success. Nine chapters out of the twelve in the book focus on preparation, specifically the meaning of salary, myths, compensation trends, knowing your worth, rules for success, responding to ads and applications, communication tips, and resources to help the reader value his/her experience. This preparation is the most important aspect of salary negotiation. The authors state, most people are probably under compensated by 10-20% and cheat themselves by failing to do two important things concerning their value, "They fail to understand and calculate their true worth and they fail to properly negotiate the highest possible salary" (Krannich, 2). It is impossible to know these two things without proper research and preparation.
The authors successfully use bullet points, lists and examples as supporting information within the book. In chapter two for example, the authors discuss several myths about salary negotiations. This section is extremely important because the taboo nature of the topic invites incorrect assumptions and conclusions that can negatively affect the uninformed job hunter. The juxtaposition of myths and realities creates a framework that is easily understood and non-threatening for the reader. Presented in this way the myths can be dispelled without making the reader feel incompetent or stupid. One of the most interesting myths is, "I'll have a better chance of getting the job if I don't ask for much money; I don't cost as much as other candidates" (Krannich, 17). As the authors explain, "This is the `penny wise pound foolish' mentality of extreme bargain shoppers who transfer the same mentality into the job market" (Krannish, 18). He proceeds to explain that employers are not searching for a bargain but want value in prospective employees.
Once the myths and realities of salary negotiation are discussed, the authors turn their attention to issue of the reader's worth and calculating it properly. This part of the book is useful because as the authors explain, "if you don't know your value before applying for a position, you may well apply for the wrong job as well as under-value or over-value yourself" (Krannich, 48). This is one of the most difficult tasks a job seeker must do but is critical to finding the right position. The book leads the reader through a well thought out path that separates a person's value, based on experience and skills, and the position's value range. The author's give several suggestions that can help determine personal and position value including reference books that focus on salaries, Internet addresses, companies that compile salary information, and other tactics that can be useful for this type of research. In addition, the book has a useful worksheet that can assist the reader in determining his/her value range based on the research conducted. The authors conclude this section by stating, "One of the best ways to kill your financial future is by being both unprepared and unrealistic about your future salary when asked about your `salary requirements' or `salary expectations'" (Krannich, 73).
In chapter eight the reader is finally ready to read about the negotiation process. The part of the book that is focused on the actual negotiation is relatively small because so much of the process is based on the person's value determination. Once the reader has identified his/her value, the actual negotiation process is relatively easy. The authors give several negotiating techniques and examples that are helpful to people interested in negotiating with a new employer as well as someone who is interested in negotiating a higher salary in his/her current job. In addition, the authors make several suggestions regarding how to handle salary objections from a potential employer, such as "your figure is not in our budget" or "others with similar qualifications and experience don't make that much in our organization" or "your salary history doesn't really justify such a large salary increase" (Krannich, 145). The open discussion of this topic is extremely helpful for people who are interested in learning how to negotiate a better salary.
Throughout the book the authors also discuss compensation packages. These packages, that can include medical care, dental care, childcare, vacation, sick days, etc., are increasingly an important part of salary negotiations. The authors mention the importance of valuing both salary plus benefits when comparing different employer compensation packages. In addition, the book discusses ways of negotiating more benefits to balance a less than expected salary for a specific position.
Fewer than 200 pages, Dynamite Salary Negotiations is an excellent manual to prepare people for one of the most difficult yet incredibly important phases of accepting a new job. The authors successfully present the material in an easy to read format that can be useful to anyone who will be negotiating a salary. Moreover, the use of bullet points, lists, formulas, and worksheets create a more interesting reading experience than the use of prose only.
Worth its weight in gold (literally).......2000-03-29
I have more than doubled my salary over the past four years, and that is largely due to information and techniques that I learned from this one book. It is *definitely* worth the cover price.

Robert Wm. Meier Manufacturer: Lightspeed Press ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback ASIN: 0974448311 |
Product Description
The Career Kit was created by a nationally acclaimed career coach who shares the same resume, interviewing, and salary negotiation secrets his private clients pay thousands of dollars to learn. The kit helps you execute a quick and successful job search to achieve your professional goals. Included is the book, "World's Greatest Resumes", with the 10 Commandments of a perfect resume and examples in every career field, i.e., sales, finance, health care, IT, self employed, engineering, job changer, choppy work history, new college grad, industry crossover and senior executive. The Interviewing Tactics CDs replace the outdated memorization model taught in most interviewing books with simple reflective questioning techniques that allow you to hit the interviewer's "Hot Buttons" and land the offer. The 'halo' effect you create makes interviewers think you came straight from heaven. You will learn to direct attention to your strengths, easily build dialog and maintain composure during intense interviews. The Salary Negotiation CD helps you uncover and negotiate critical salary points such as the take-it-or-leave-it number, the budget ceiling, floor and final offer. After one listening, you can earn what you are worth and reach the budget ceiling of any salary range. The targeted job-search plan helps you penetrate the 'hidden' job market (where 90% of jobs are found) and pierce the Fortune 500 corporate veil. The Career Kit revolutionizes the job search process. Like books such as What Color is Your Parachute, you learn how to assess your career strengths, but we also teach you how to use the tools to attract employer attention. Join thousands who have used the kit tools to earn better salaries, win more interviews and reach their career destiny. Robert Wm. Meier's book was voted top 10 career book of 2005 by the LA times.
