Easy Answers To Tricky Salary Negotiation Questions by Horlaidex(m): 5:22pm On Dec 08, 2015 |
Question: What salary range are you looking for? Your Answer: "Let's talk about the job requirements and expectations first, so I can get a sense of what you need." That's a soft answer to a soft way to ask the question. Question: What did you make at your last job? Your Answer: "This position is not exactly the same as my last job. So let's discuss what my responsibilities would be here and then determine a fair salary for this job." It's hard to argue with words like "fair" and "responsibilities"—you're earning respect with this one. Question: What are you expecting to make in terms of salary? Your Answer: "I am interested in finding a job that is a good fit for me. I'm sure whatever salary you're paying is consistent with the rest of the market." In other words, I respect myself and I want to think I can respect this company. Question: I need to know what salary you want in order to make you an offer. Can you tell me a range? Your Answer: "I'd appreciate it if you could make me an offer based on whatever you have budgeted for this position and we can go from there." This is a pretty direct response, so using words like "appreciate" focuses on drawing out the interviewer's better qualities instead of her tougher side. Question: Why don't you want to give your salary requirements? Your Answer: "I think you have a good idea of what this position is worth to your company, and that's important information for me to know." You can see the pattern, right? If you think you sound obnoxious or obstinate by not answering the question, think of how he feels asking the question more than once. Also, by the time the interviewer has asked two or three times, the interviewer will know that hiring you means having a tough negotiator on his team -- another reason to make you a good salary offer. 3 Likes 1 Share |

You better look before u leap... If you should try all dese with some organizations,.. I know some peeps dat have lost job opportunities not in this our labour market dat is highly saturated ... Meanwhile what you need only is to research on what d companies pays those in your category, also size d company up to determine how much dey can pay and consider if there are career prospects and progression. There are so many outside that can do d job and will collect lower dan what u demanded o.. Dats jst d fact....and besides answering salary negotiations questions like d above does not make you a tough negotiator. You only appear to be someone dat is only interested in yourself and nit interested in the company. An structured organization will treat his staff well according to its best capacity and would also want a loyal and committed employee in return irrespective of how much he or she earns. Remember the HR will not pay you from his pocket 1 Like |
