http://www.forbes.com/sites/lizryan/2016/08/15/six-ways-you-lose-when-you-reveal-your-salary-history/#41e93ead16a3 If you have been job-hunting lately, you know that it’s become obnoxiously common for recruiters to ask, “What are you earning now?” or “What did you earn at your last job?” very early in the conversation. They will ask, but you don’t have to give them the number they want. It’s a very bad idea for you to give up your salary details. Is the recruiter going to tell you what the other employees in the department are getting paid, or what the person who last held the open position got paid? No way! Instead of forking over your salary details, you can say, “In this job search I’m focusing on jobs in the $60K range.” All the recruiter really needs to know is what you are planning to earn in your next job — not what you earned in your last job. You may want to be agreeable and polite and go along with the recruiter’s rude and unprofessional request for your private financial information. If you give up your salary details, you will have hurt yourself in six powerful ways: • You’ll have set the wrong tone for the relationship. You’ve just told the recruiter, “You are mighty, and I am weak. Ask me whatever you want!” • You’ll have made it clear that you’re willing to rely on the generosity of the employer. You are a professional. Does the plumber tell the homeowner what the plumber’s last client paid him? Of course not! The plumber simply tells you his or her hourly rate.

You are a professional. Does the plumber tell the homeowner what the plumber’s last client paid him? Of course not! The plumber simply tells you his or her hourly rate. • You’ll have given the employer permission to determine your value price based on your last job. If you were underpaid at your last job, by giving up your salary details you’ll be giving a new employer license to underpay you again. Why would you give someone permission to abuse you? • You’ll have set yourself up to be subjected to even more salary verification. A funny thing about managers whose fearful desire to see the inside of their job applicants’ bank accounts is gratified is that they are never satisfied. Until somebody holds the line with them, they can start to believe that they not only deserve to know what you earned at your last job, but they also deserve to see six months of payslips and your tax return, too! Stand up for yourself and say, “I’m focusing on $60K jobs. Is that job in that range?” • You’ll have branded yourself, appropriately or otherwise. You have allowed a completely different employer to set your value, no matter how different this new job opportunity might be. • You’ll have given up negotiating leverage. When you name your target salary number and let an employer consider you in that light, they can still make you a job offer that’s below your number, but it’s not in their best interest to keep you in their recruiting pipeline if they’re planning to do that. If they did, they could easily waste their time. It’s in their best interest to get the salary discussion out on the table early in the recruiting process if they fear that they can’t afford you. If you give them the number they ask for — your current or most recent salary — you’ve set a low bar for your next employer to exceed. If you’ve got the words “excellent negotiation skills” anywhere on your resume, you can prove it by negotiating on your own behalf! The world is changing fast. If it’s already illegal to ask a job-seeker for their past salary information in the state of Massachusetts — which it will be when a newly signed law goes into effect in 2018 — why would employers or recruiters anywhere want to engage in that predatory and impolite practice? Find your voice and your backbone and give recruiters what they need (your salary target) the next time you’re asked, “What are you earning now?” |

I think Seun and his MODs need to do something about it The platform is becoming one of the most divisive platform around. Most things peddled here about our culture and lifestyle are not true. immortalvoices: 2 Likes |

tuniski: See guy, there is something about policy somersault or inconsistency that you people dont understand.It distorts the entire system and drives investors away by miles. Would you rather they dump everything the last government did and develop their own from the scratch? For how long are we going to continue to abandon projects started by one regime just because we dont like their faces. Why do you think there are several abandoned projects all over the country. While they may have maligned previous admin.it still does not mean they cannot continue the good projects that were in place before they came on board. 4 Likes |

9,000MT for how many farmers. We need to improve on the average of 13kg/Hec to the recommended 200kg/hec in Nigeria While I commend the effort of the government at this, they need to do more. And over time, they need to hands off from this kind of scheme because that distorts the market. These schemes are not sustainable in the long run. The private sector should be allowed to run the show while the government provides infrastructure. Finally, most of the beneficiaries of this subsidy are in the urban or peri-urban areas while the really poor Small holder farmers who are in the rural area/hinterlands cant get them. And again, the fertilizer goes to political loyalists. |

sholexy21: Ok so it's not about the car. In my own case, I forgot to close the bonnet properly and was on high speed when I noticed. Before I could say jack, it was a loud noise I heard. The screen was shattered and the bonnet destroyed. It was terrible. 1 Like |

The temperature is 20 degrees this morning. It's really cold here and just to corroborate someone's story about some snow fall here yesterday. How do these people survive and to think some kilometers away, somewhere after Saminaka is 38 degrees.

genxris: This is the reason PDP lost the last time. You guys are so foolish You are not smart at all. If you will attack, please use your brain and let us support you. Dont throw stuffs into the air and expect people to buy when you dont have any substance. I have searched and cant find anything that says Presidency feeding or anything related There is no detailed breakdown in this PDF or is it your imaginations? I am also waiting earnestly for the detailed breakdown but in the meantime, we take some chill pills. 24 Likes |

Omexonomy: One common sh1t among these poster so far is tha they are all from southwest. Are you always like this. I guess we should bow to tribal sentiments at the expense of our peace and development. Soon your likes would be given a portfolio and would continue like this. Are we talking of your WAEC here? my friend better go and read for your JAMB, this place is not for kids. 18 Likes |

It is a shame what young people do with their brain. Someone has posted some fascinating findings and all you have to say are these gibberish on front page. Even if you are not an IT person or whatever or you dont have internet to view the pages, cant you just pass. No wonder they say some race have very low IQ. 1 Like |

wesley80: Great move by the FG. Smarter people can see through ASUU. Why didnt Fagge and his thieving crew demand for salaries they didnt work for while they were negotiating with the President? Why have they now included it as amandatory condition before the strike is called off? Isnt it obvious that the other conditions are mere covers for their greedy agenda of receiving money they didnt work for? Whoever heard of labour leaders being victimized by the govt? If the NLC and TUC leaders have not faced victimization despite theirnumerous strike actions what on earth is ASUU guardin against? What if the AG signs the agreement, would that stop the govt from reneging if they want to? These are mere smokescreens, what ASUU really want is the 5 months salary they didnt work for period! omo, your madness has no bearing. |
