Negotiating Salary

                                                                                 

        As soon as you get a job offer the first thing that you think of is salary, I mean who doesn’t want to be paid a good amount of salary for the skills and dedication they offer to a job? It takes so many hours of your life and time. But you don’t want to ring up the salary topic at an interview, as it may seem that your keen interest is the money and not the job. Just how you invest a lot of time prior, researching about big investments like a house or a car similarly you should research on what is your value, or what is the pay range of people who are in the same business field as you and the job position as well.
          What really is important when negotiating salary is knowing how to do it. Not sure about how you can negotiate salary? No worries here are a few:
  •           Just as I mentioned before do not ask about the salary during the interview.
  •           Until you are offered the job and the employer talks about the salary you should not give any figures.
  •           When you are having a conversation about the salary and when asked then you can bring forward the research you did and tell the recruiter what you would like to get.
  •           You should always keep in mind the least amount of salary you would accept if the employer goes below that you will know that, that particular job would not meet your expenses.
  •           With salary you should never forget the benefit package as vacation, health plan and so on maybe available with the job.
  •          According to some professionals say you should always begin negotiating with a higher salary amount as you may be lucky enough to get that pay or slightly below of what you have asked for.

Unfortunately if none of these work out in favour of you I guess you know what you should do? Right? Because remember that’s not the last job you’ll get.


                                                                          Did you know?




Your Thought?
If you've been jobless for quite some time now and you are offered job but with a low salary range and no benefits would you take it? Also keeping in mind that it isn't the best job in the sense you are over qualified for the job? Would you accept the job offer?
