how much is that new job worth does it
pay fairly
these questions aren't easy to answer
but online salary tools are a good place
to start searching
with online salary tools you can
research the earnings of people in
similar jobs
locations and companies indeed salary
tool is free to use
even if you don't have an indeed account
from indeed.com
click find salaries at the top
you can search by job title or company
the search will return a salary average
along with more information about how
factors like
experience and location affect pay
but you should be careful with this data
as no single number that you see
tells the whole story for example indeed
says that the average elementary school
teacher
earns about 15 an hour but if we switch
from hourly to yearly
the number is over forty six thousand
dollars
those two numbers don't add up also
small wording changes in the job title
can drastically affect the results
so experiment with different search
terms
another way to make sure that you are
getting the best information
is to compare multiple websites
most job search sites like monster
career builder and linkedin
all have their own salary tools
glassdoor.com is a great resource if you
are researching salaries at specific
companies
however before you can use glassdoor you
will have to create an
account and answer questions about your
salary or past
jobs which is part of how glassdoor
collects its data
there are also salary specific websites
like payscale.com
from the home page one option is to
click get your pay report
to view a personalized report if you
instead just want to browse
you can click for you in the top left
corner and then choose how you want to
search
either way that you use the site you do
have to create a free account before you
can see results
salary isn't the only thing to consider
when it comes to finding the right job
but it is an important piece online
salary tools
aren't perfect but if you use them
carefully
they can be an important part of the job
search process
