Summary: Buy the book!
Review: This is an excellent guidebook to prepare people for one of the most stressful yet important stages of accepting a new job. The author successfully presents the material in an easy to read format that can be useful to anyone who is or will be negotiating a salary. Given today's economy, you have to go in with a game plan and be even more creative in negotiating the best possible package. The author's use of bullet points, lists, formulas, and worksheets create step-by-step scenarios and solutions, as well as, common sense recommendations that provide an effective, concise series of steps for getting offers, and negotiating the perks. Case examples demonstrate each of the steps and how to (and not to) execute them. The chapters on salary negotiations are particularly good, especially sections on responding to the offer with your researched response and clinching the dealing and then dealing some more to get maximize your handling of the perks and benefits negotiation process. I recommend this book to anyone as a reference guide before making any steps toward salary negotiations. I know it helped me stay focused on obtaining the best package I could during my negotiations.
