There is a really cool tool available on Career Builder that can help you determine jobs in your salary range and to help you determine what your skills are worth. The site has a three ways to search jobs and salary:
Jobs by Salary Tool
Type in the salary you want and they will provide a list of jobs in the salary range. I selected the $100,000- $104,000 range, location, and then pressed the search button. A table of jobs appeared. I then selected the Real-Time Power Trader listing. It told me everything I needed to know about the job including growth and requirements.
Salary Calculator and Range Finder
Type in your current job title or the title of the job you are researching and your geographical area. If you type in Training Supervisor for instance you will get a number of variations of the job title will appear. Select the one that most closely matches and a graph will appear with the salary range including the median salary. There will also be a job description. You can also browse for current openings across the country.
Cost of Living Comparison
What if you are taking a job in Chicago? You will need to know how much more salary you will need if you are going to live in Illinois. Career builder cost of living comparison tool can help you figure out how much more salary you will need. If I type in a salary of $50,000 and enter I am moving from Wisconsin to Illinois. I then enter I am moving from Milwaukee to Chicago. The calculator tells me I will need $51, 097 to have an equivalent salary if I take a job offer in Chicago.
Pretty cool tools and they are fun to play with. They can give you some serious help with your job search and knowing the type of salary you need to ask for as part of your negotiations.
