Most employees rarely receive training on how to get a job. In fact, having attending a "tier one" university, I had no idea how to interview when I graduated from college.

One of the most difficult parts of an interview is the salary discussion. This is a touchy area that can either land you the job or leave you wondering what you did wrong. Monster.com has a section for job seekers that helps them accurately calculate their fair market value so they know what salary figures are fair. This section also provides negotiation tips and information on benefits. You can also use these tips to advance your search on other sites.
