Need help ASAP, need to know about my salary Options

[BlackCelicaGT94]

So i had an interview today and it sounds like i got the job. they even asked the president of the current company im at how soon they could have me


i didnt bring up salary at the interview cuz im very shy asking for money. Once i told my parents i didnt bring it up they got pissed and said u call the guy tonight after you get off work and bring it up and say your not working for less than 13 dollars an hour. and im like ok ok! and i do think im worth 13 and my two bosses here i think i should be getting 14 or 15 bucks...but how do i call and ask the guy this?

i was thinking id call and say

Hi this is natalie and im sorry but i forgot to bring up during the interview the topic of salary. Considering id be working in seattle and having to hopefully find free parking on the streets or pay for parking i need to ask for a minimum of 13 dollars an hour


anyone else got any suggestions

I would not do it over the phone, do it in person, and be very seriouse about it, you have to get him to think of you as a perfetional and worth the money, witch he may already think, but a quick phone call will not help that out. Just call him up and ask if you could have a quick meeting to go over the finances/waiges. he may just wana do it over the phone but offer the meeting so he knows your willing to go down there and talk in person, (force him to make the choice so you dont have too)

future note (you probibly already know but i'll say it anyway): always when they ask "any questions" or "any last comments" or whatever, ask a few random things like (what is the work envirorment, or do you feel your employees are happy) then ask about money, but always after something else so that it does not look like thats all you care about, even though it is to most people.

Update: dont ask for that much right off the bat, and just because your old boss thinks you should be making that does not mean your new boss cant go hire someone else for less, ask how much it pays first, then ask for more etc.
