问题     If you’re at minimum wage, and the employer says, "$4.65 an hour," an "OK" will freeze it right there. But a "Hmmm" response could increase it, and just 50 cents an hour more will earn you $1,000 extra in a year of 40-hour weeks.
    The same goes for all other levels, too. A simple "Hmmm" instead of "OK" can change a $25,000 salary into $28,000 and finance your new computer system. $45,000 can be pushed to $30,000, affording you that much-needed two-week vacation.
    Anybody can negotiate a better salary. An extra $0.50, $1, or even a $3—5 an hour increase seldom exceeds a company’s phone bill! From your perspective it’s a ten-to fifty-percent raise. From their perspective, an extra fifty cents an hour costs them only as much as an extra hour of long-distance calls a week—something most businesses do without a second thought.
    Don’t worry that the employer will change his or her mind about hiring you just because you ask for more. Going through the whole recruiting-interviewing-hiring process again will cost a company much more than $1,000—5,000 anyway in the long run. Odds(可能性) are, you’ll get that little extra, and the employer will still consider it a good bargain to avoid that hassle(麻烦).
