 Money is a difficult subject to discuss, as anyone who has ever asked for a raise knows. Get beyond the fear with BusinessWeek.com's Special Report on Negotiating Pay and Perks. You'll find human-resources expert Liz Ryan's advice on what to do--and what not to do--when looking for more in your paycheck. Among her tips: Think creatively, get inside your boss's head, ask for a follow-up plan--and have your résumé in shape in case things don't work out. Sometimes it's what you don't say that can speak volumes. Communications expert Carmine Gallo offers insight into the nonverbal cues that convey confidence and competence. Sheila Curran of Duke University's Career Center tells new grads what to look for when evaluating that first job offer. And coach Dan Lier explains how one way to get what you want is to act as if you already have it. Finally, check out some of the perks companies give their employees. Among our favorites: a beer allowance, meeting-free Fridays, and adoption assistance. Go to businessweek.com/go/07negotiate for all this and more.
