Im not searching for a new job but an acquaintance reached out about a similar role at a similar energy company.Turns out 2 ppl threw my name in the hat. I looked into it and the position was posted 2 weeks ago.Their director wants to meet.I bet pay is one of the first things to be discussed so that no one’s time is wasted.Am I crazy for not wanting to entertain it for less than 20-25% base pay increase?Is it selfish to ask for more? I’m sure most salary conversations end in negotiation anyways?

I have a feeling that the issue was not your salary rate, but rather the job market. You shouldn't accept a salary so low that you can't live on it. $11 in most places is not even a livable wage. I'd suggest focusing on your process, rather than just the amount you're asking.
I have resumes with cover page, I follow up call even though most don’t answer, and I’m open to all shifts. Don’t drink or smoke and physically fit. Do you think it’s my student loans on my credit that is making them weary?
I worked in a warehouse for 5 months when I was in between my “career job”. I made $16 an hour with basically no experience
Maybe it’s my approach! I have all the experience above and my last job started at 12.50hr. After almost 3 yrs they paid me 14.75. Maybe being more stern will prevent lower pay.
Don't do that but down the way you deserve. Low balling down only helps with a little change like 20 not 21. Makes it seem like you're not confident

It sounds like the problem is the market. I wouldn’t adjust downward any more personally but might consider different areas or specialties
I was thinking warehouse might want less experience so they can pay less. Might try help desk since my degree in cyber will be done soon!
maybe they dont want to put $$ into training a PT employee who will put school above their work and not be there in 6 months when they go for their masters?
how honest areyou being about your school/commitmen to the job. may want to reexamine who you are reponding!
None of the employers have even tried reaching out to find out what I will except. They don’t know I’m getting my masters, they just know I have a bachelors. Before I went back to school they were kind of low balling me, which made me go back to school. I assumed accepting the lowest amount would help them decide quicker. I’m a hard worker and companies aren’t loyal to employees, so don’t see upgrading as an issue. I want full time work and will work years after I get my masters!
Contact TEKsystems or Robert Half. If you are ABOUT to graduate with Cyber Sec.. then you have sub skills that IT can use. Don't do warehouse.. try.. try private contracting. I have no idea how/where to do that, but I am sure they are successful ppl who do that sort of work.
I’m going to check them out right now. I just don’t know what to do and really need a job. I don’t have a record, I only have student loans on my credit and can’t even get a call. Almost every company I call just tells me to wait! Thank you
