For university-level teaching, youâll be required to gain at least a masterâs degree (in the field you wish to teach) and often also a PhD; many universities combine teaching and research roles. Careers in teaching and academia can also tie in with careers in media.
All of this is to say that it usually makes sense to resist the first salary offer and negotiate instead. One of the most effective ways to negotiate fairly is by asking appropriate exploratory and clarifying questions that gently persuade the employer to meet your salary expectations. To help you, here are ten such questions to ask when negotiating your salary:
At time of offer. 1  Strike First: Try to mention a specific salary before the employer does. This will start the negotiations in your ballpark. 2  Don't Commit Too Quickly: The employer often offers the job and salary simultaneously. Never say yes right awayâeven if you like the offer.
