In this video, I will teach you 6 salary negotiation tactics on how to negotiate a higher salary for yourself, whether you’ve just received a new job offer or you’re wanting to ask for a raise in your current job.
You will learn the salary negotiation techniques that I know work on how to negotiate a salary that is in line with your expectations.
There are many salary negotiation strategies, but it takes the right salary negotiation skills to get that bump in pay that matches what the market offers and what you’re worth.
The 6 Major Tips on How to Negotiate a Higher Salary include:
Tip # 1: Talk about your value - bring up evidence that prove why you’re worth what you’re worth.
Tip #2: Do market research - know what the market is paying for someone with your credentials and level of experience.
Tip #3. Give a number, not a range - many people are afraid to offend the employers and give a range for what salary they’d be open to. This is not the way to go.
Tip #4. Go in with leverage - you want to leverage everything you can to enhance your chances of getting that bump in pay.
Tip #5. Time it appropriately - if you’re in a job offer situation vs. asking for a raise, you need to know the right timing on when to bring up your salary expectations
Tip #6. Be humble and polite, yet confident.
Watch the video so you can learn the salary negotiation skills that I know work to getting you a higher salary.

Modal Verbs - May, Might, Could, Can - Talking About Possibilities
source: Oxford Online English 2018年3月23日
The English modal verbs 'can', 'could', 'may' and 'might' are used to talk about possibilities. This English modal verbs lesson will help you learn how to use may, might, could, and can correctly.
For example:
- He can be really mean sometimes
- It could take us a few hours to finish this
- They might have missed the train
These sentences all express possibilities: things which are possible, but not certain. We often use these modal verbs to talk about things we are not sure about, or to give our opinions.
In this lesson, you can learn:
1) How to use 'can' to talk about general possibilities in the present or the future.
2) How to use 'could', 'may' and 'might' to talk about specific possibilities.
3) The difference between general and specific possibilities, and when you need to use 'can' or 'could/may/might'.
4) Talking about possibilities in the past using 'could have', 'may have' or 'might have'.
5) The two different meanings of 'could have'—'could have' can be used in two different ways to talk about possibilities in the past, depending on whether you know what happened or not.
We use the modal verb 'can' to talk about general possibilities—things which can be true at different times, or for different people. For example: "It can take two hours to get there by train." This means that it can take two hours every time, not just once.
You can use the verbs 'could', 'may' or 'might' to talk about specific possibilities—things which are only possible at one time. For example: "It could take you two hours to get there by train." This means it could take -you- two hours, not someone else. It's specific. In this sentence you could use any of the three modal verbs 'could', 'may' or 'might'—there's no difference in meaning.
To talk about possibilities in the past, use the modal verbs 'could', 'may', or 'might', plus 'have' plus a past participle. For example: "I don't know where they are—they could have missed the train." In this sentence, you can use any of the verbs 'may', 'might' or 'could', as before.
