I will say this about employment, I had a case where someone tried to negotiate their salary with my organization. He failed and didn't get the job, why? Because there were about 3 or 4 people waiting to take his place. So I would like to add, think of the size of the organization you are applying to as well as the rarity of your skill set - both determine how much the company needs YOU. I am not saying don't negotiate, but just be careful about jacking up your salary too much, it can backfire dramatically.

Awesome video! Garage sales and flee markets (or craigslist and letgo) are awesome places to practice because for a $20 laptop, who cares if you practice negotiations by saying -would you take $15- or -would you trade $10 plus this lamp I have- There's so much less at stake, but you get to practice concentration, consideration, and politeness all while under the influence of negotiation adrenaline. Never pay full price simply because lose the opportunity to practice your negotiation muscle.

Sorry, but this isn't right. People don't latch on to the first number because they think it's important - they latch onto it because they don't know their own market value. People who know how much they're worth aren't likely to accept a number lower than their market value. Uncertainty is the reason for accepting that first offer - not a 'dislike of randomness'.

This video was clearly not made with knowledge of actual business majors. If you know what you're worth, a starting offer has nothing to do with being latched onto because of a perceived -dislike of randomness-. If someone offers a finance major $45, 000, they're about $10, 000 below a respectable starting salary, and any good finance major knows it.

I'm currently int the process of looking for a new position or another job, so this advice is truly valuable. I always had low self-esteem but I'm suspecting that less hard working colleagues in my current team are earning more and enjoy more benefits than I do. so I'll practice for my next interview going through these tips again. --

All of this sounds very vague and nonhelpful. You keep referencing things like -resistance point- without no explanation as to what that is, and you keep referencing keeping your intentions hidden without ever explaining why or how that works or how that-s supposed to make any sense.

My natural negotiation style is to not ask for more, which I know I-m not -supposed to- do, but when you-re a newcomer in a saturated field and you get rejections for years, you take what you can get.

Me: Oranges
Seller: Wait, what, huh, arrrrgh. [Chucking to death]
