job salary negotiation

salary negotiation skills


The main aim of peolpe working is to get their daily bread and be able to sustain their families.We all have a dream job that will make us live like kings without worries.Getting a job this days seems to be tricky hence unavoidable circumstances drives people to do informal jobs.Many university graduates can be found in this category.
During some job interviews,the potential employer may tend to ask the job applicant his/her salary range.Many people at this instant tend to panic as they give thier answer.Before you go for that job interview,you ought to have made some research in terms of the pay people get according to that job.This helps one not to state a high or low salary.Many job applicants have lost a major job opportunity since they stated a salary that is too low or too high.
In the interview you should be calm at all times even if some interviewers tend to intimidate so as to see how you can perfom under pressure.Once you state your expected salary,your mind should be clear and also you should not be too desparate.Some job offers may be too low hence it may constrain your finances.If one stumbles on such an offer,you should inform the interviewer that it would not be possible for you to take that job at that particular moment.
One may state a salary range that is a liltle bit high than the employer can afford.In this instance,the employer can decide to negotiate the amount that he/she is willing to pay.Here you should have an amount to which lower than it,the job opportunity may prove to be hard to take.Be assertive and do not make the salary negotiation to be a dead end also don't be to hard to convince.
Always respect the views of others at all times though out the process..So when you find yourself in this state,you know "the does and don'ts".
