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? it all depends on how u look at it, cos there is no certainty dt the tiler might get such type of work d nxt day or even dt same week n stil very possible dt he might get a bigger one 2mao, I undesrtand ur point bt d fact remains dt everybody musnt be his/her own boss and evrybody too musnt do a white collar jab. Bt looking @ it 4rm ur own point of view, I knw a lady dt makes minimum of 5k daily profit from selling akara n pap between 6am-10am nd 6pm-10pm, in a mnth minus sundays, she might make averagely 130k.....so tel me hw many graduates earn such in a mnth 1 Like |

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 What was your wise response to them when they asked if they should not bother contacting you again? 1 Like |

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! Hey listen up. Don't erode yourself of your worth. My first salary was 142k is I gave them the right reasons why I had to earn that. All other fresh graduates that were employed alongside myself were around 100k. As a matter of fact, I can't work for less than 350k now. That's how I have preeped my life and of course with the truck load of pre requisites. If you want it big, dream and work towards it. It's very realistic. If someone ever doubts your ability, raise your worth |

If someone ever doubts your ability, raise your worth Understandably so! But not in this context! Even if you want more than their conventional pay, you must still show/prove that you know how much they normally pay but by virtue of your 'worth', you deserve more. Didn't you have a general perception of their pay package (of your first salaried job) before you went for the interview? How come you knew you were worth more than the average of 100k If you didn't know their pay? Don't you think that the 142k you settled for could (quite possibly) be tantamount to being tagged 'under-payed'? Why didn't you ask for more? Sir, it all boils down to "RANGE" and not worthlessness as you would want me to believe! NO MATTER HOW MUCH VALUE OR SELF WORTH YOU PLACE ON YOURSELF,IT IS STILL WITHIN A 'RANGE', IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH WORTHLESSNESS! |
