Negotiating salary, particularly upon receiving a job offer, is an often-dreaded task.

After all, if you weren't certain you were the right person for the job, you wouldn't ask to get paid what you're worth.
Think you're ready to step up to the challenge? First, read the tips below to make sure your salary negotiation results in you making every last penny you're worth.
