Price- Price is a very complicated variable because it is one that is not completely in your control. One way that you can have some control over what you get paid is being willing to work for a lower price than your competition. This is a strategy used to get the job over others and it is done with the thought that over time you will see a pay increase. Another strategy that there is a fine line with, is trying to go for the biggest salary you can get. This if successful comes with a huge reward but if not you can over price yourself and end up not getting the job.

In response to your post about the marketing mix in the job market, I have decided to focus just on the price variable. Although the employee has the option to work for a lower price, there is a fine line between selling yourself short and being too greedy. I think that as a college student working for less money, especially in this economy, is the better idea. this way you increase your chances of beating out the competition for the job and give yourself the opportunity to prove yourself in the job and earn higher wages as time goes on. However, there are many people looking for jobs, most of whom, will have more years of experience than I will have exiting college. So even working for less money might not be the deciding factor in the job hunt.
