Ignorance on display.

You're addressed the way you dress. Being on social media isn't an excuse for incoherent write up. We have lots of sane folks on social media

I sincerely hope that your spoken English during the interview is better than what you wrote in the OP, if not, you just might have heard the last from the company that day. Cause, one has to be intelligent to understand your message
.why are you exaggerating? you don't need rocket science to understand what he wrote.

What do you understand the word 'exaggeration' to mean?

Pointing out incoherence isn't a wrong thing

Well, you know what? Just mind your business. I'm not a kid. If your opinion does not align with this trend and the question I asked. Keep your opinion to yourself. Again adios because this is the last time I'm replying you.

OP to me you did no wrong because everyone has his price and you named yours. The company could employ you because you were bold enough to raise the bar more than the other desperate job seekers. Don't regret your action, I like people like you

I once attended an interview.When the question came on salary expectation I said 200k.One of the candidate that also came for the interview requested 150k.I was eventually given the job despite I requested for 200k.So don't give up.If you did well they will definately come for you.

Bro, pIs, how did u answer the saIary question? Thnx

ajasa4link:
lol....The truth is desperation to land any job at all always makes job seekers to under value themselves and call any figure at all when the salary issue is raised in the recruitment process. I was also guilty of this,the desperation of wanting to land the job, not wanting to sit back at home and the start counting months after service is one of the reasons people tend to call this low salary figure.
However, standard organizations don't base ur slary on the jargons u mouth as salary figure during interviews. Am a living witness, where i currently work now, I was asked for my salary expectations, and as usual i just said something that I feel is at least fair to both parties, but still the interviewers tried cutting it down , and even asked if they shouldn't bother getting back to me if i can't go lower. But God helped me answer the question intelligently. Lo and behold my salary in my offer letter was twice the figure I mentioned during the interview. Even my friend where he works now, he asked for a little over a million as salary figure, but his offer letter showed his salary to be over 2million

Sometimes it's a waste of time looking for white collar jobs. My tiler worked for me on three toilets. In 8hrs, he was through with two of his boys. In short, everything is equal to 15k. Do I make that from my 'big man' office in 3days?

U didn't carry out any background research on the company before heading for that interview? Could cost you that job If you down play or over shoot on their / your range. A little background check could have done the magic! Wish you luck!

Abeg forget background research joor. What is yours will not pass.

I can bet my last penny that u av lost that job based on ur negligence to do ur assignment b4 going for an interview..
The main reason for asking u ur salary preference is to know if u knew about the company you applied to..
WAY FORWARD.
U can always link up with people that works in the company via linkdln, facebook or call their customer care and engage them in a chat..
THE RIGHT ANSWER
Is to pick a salary range like ur friends did, not too low and not too high THEN most especially and importantly tell the employer that its negotiable.
Re: When Asked About Salary Preference by Nobody: 7:24pm On Dec 24, 2015
On issues like this, it all depends on the establishment's size to determine and gauge your salary range...
