Employers would like to pay you what they want and not a penny more, but the reality is that you won’t move from your current position unless you’re given a better offer.

The only way your prospective employer can have the full scope of what you’re getting now is if you tell him. More specifically, if you allow yourself to be thought of as a $70,000 candidate when in reality you are a $100,000 candidate, don’t be surprised to receive an underwhelming offer.

What’s most likely to happen?” These assessments can often dispel a self-fulfilling spiral of failure and help you cope during the job search process.
