Hello Linda and Sara,
I just read the article in Women's Business
Minnesota. I whole-heartedly agree with
your conclusions. As a Human Resources
professional I see the disparity between
men and women regularly.

I have recently accepted a severance package
and I am currently looking for work in
HR. I have been offered two positions,
however the salary for both offers were
lower than my most recent salary for the
same kind of work. I know my salary is in
line based on market surveys. I tried
to negotiate but they were not willing.
One told me that they would go on to the
next applicant since they knew they would
accept their financial offer. I was
disappointed because the work sounded
really great.

Please give me some advise going forward.
I enjoy my work and feel my financial
expectations are reasonable. Do I need to
make some consessions just to get the
job in this tough market?
