Say something like \u201cI am seeking a competitive offer but salary is not what is most important to me.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>You can also give them a range of salaries: \u201cBased on my research of the industry and cost of living in Knoxville, I would like to be in the 30K- 40K range\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Don\u2019t get personal<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>The employer doesn\u2019t care about student loans, car payments, etc. Your salary will be based on the hirer\u2019s assessment of three things: Your ability to get the job done, the organization\u2019s budget, market rates for your job and location<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><strong>Salary Calculators<\/strong><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.jobsearchintelligence.com\/etc\/jobseekers\/salary-calculator.php\">NACE Salary Calculator Center<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.salary.com\/\">Salary.com<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.bankrate.com\/brm\/movecalc.asp\">BankRate<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><strong>Other Resources<\/strong><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/studentsuccess.utk.edu\/career\/annual-reports\/\">UT Salary Data<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is the salary range for someone with your education and experience?
