Very interesting result from this week’s Yahoo! HotJobs poll about how many workers actually negotiated their salaries…
| Q | In your current or most recent job, did you negotiate your salary? |
| Yes |  32% |
| No | 68% |
| 9039 Votes to date |
The idea of negotiating salary scares many job applicants, but the issue also could be that many people don’t realize they can negotiate salary (that was true for me for much of my career). Or they don’t know how.
