Response to Laurie Whalen

"Price: Companies are always trying to pay the minimum that they can for their labor. As a new employee, do not assume that you deserve the least amount. If you have a hunch that the employer is not going to pay you as much as you deserve, then do not take the job."

Price is most certainly, one of the most crucial "P's" in the marketing mix. It is the sole reason that we go out and get ourselves jobs in the first place. Price is the exchange of money for our services. When applying for a job, I agree, that it is very important to get an idea of what you will be paid. I think that most first time jobs start you off at minimum wage, however, it is important that you have room to grow. I also agree that if you don't see that growth or promotion in your future, you might want to reconsider taking the job. A lot of times people will be afraid to ask for a pay raise, when in reality, they deserve it.
