skydeep: Let me add a point. When your employer ask you how much they can pay you this is what you should reply This line, if constructed the way you have just put it, can never get you a worthy salary. You should know your worth and be ready to convince anybody that you are really worth that !!! 2 Likes |

I agree with you on this. I've been on interview panels where people have been dropped from the reckoning for failing to disclose what they were earning as at the date of the interview.though the emphasis varies from case to case don buchi: do you guys think point 5 is workable in this part of the world? |

Item 5 is not tenable in well structured organisation. I mean in organisation where remunerations are fixed for a certain position. No matter how much you under-price or over-price yourself, provided you are fit-in the position you will be treated with what has been the company's policy on remunerations. It actually happened to a brother who is very good at what he does. He under-priced his worth because he needed the job desperately. Fortunately, he was hired and paid quadruple (with a car) of what he negotiated, reason being that his position has a salary base which is subject to yearly review. The guy was held spell-bound by that revelation. 1 Like |

Ozegbe: aren't you guys tired of all these 10 things, 15, 23 or 5 things you should say, dont say, do or dont do in an interview? I agree with you 100%. I once threw away a very good job opportunity because of all this after reading some interview technique ****. Every job is different, what most employers want to know is if you can do the job, your personality and if you have the right qualification. So just be yourself. |

these are very good tips considering that most of our graduates now are so used to saying lots of irrelevant things when asked a simple question.eg 'its like..., and so on.. if i may add, please keep your blackberry away while being interviewed, i have seen so many young men and women being in my presence while conversing and looking at their phone screens at the same time. |

I don't think point 5 applies to most organisations because these days,you can be asked about your present salary on their application forms. It shouldn't be a big deal answering the question and it doesn't undermine your profiency. |

Delfino: most times its not as easy as you've said. considering that you have others waiting at the lounge waiting to be interviewed for that same position. you never know , playing safe may help. secondly salary expectations sometimes determines if you'd get the job or not. The fact remains that there are no strict rules to answering interview question. its neither here nor there. all one need is favour. when the interviewer likes you, you get the job. if not you will not. imagine you interviewing 3 first class graduate with equal exposures and equal competences and ability, you just have to pick one of them. at that point you'll pick the one you like. sometimes there are no wrong answers in real interview especially when both parties know what they are doing. |

slightlyMad: Is your profound idiocy innate or did you work hard to achieve it?[/quote] your name is really funny.i just want to advice that you do not respond to any silly remarks next time. it will only earn you an insult. some in this forum are just 13-15 year old learning how to flex their fingers on key board in a #5 internet cafe. |
