Thank you so much for doing an AMA like this, I'm really enjoying reading your responses so far.
I'm looking into relocating to a new state with absolutely zero professional connections in the area. I am trying to stay in an administrative role - which is consistent with my experience, but I would really like to request a salary higher than anything I've ever received before.
I have a decent amount of experience behind me and, in my opinion, definitely have suitable skills to be asking for the range that I am (40k -45k). I presently make 32k, and I feel that I have just been too sheepish to ever request what I feel I'm worth (this may stem from previous interviewers reactions to my initial salary request).
My question to you then is: how do you suggest I get over this particular hang up and what points should I focus on when the negotiations begin?
If it helps, I can send you a copy of my resume in order to see what we're working with here...
