    You people are fucking crazy! Don't you knwo that all of these ... erm... 'techniques' you are sharing are so hackneyed and played that it makes you all look like Napolean Dynamite when you drop them from the hip?

    Be assertive about your expectations. You are entitled to a salary. If you are not good for them your salary expectations wont matter anyway. If you are right for them, then you have a greater value.

    Fuck, do you all take your portfolios along in big envelopes with TOP SECRET printed across the front?
