I have an interview any tips on getting the job and how do you negotiate pay? Be yourself and do not discuss pay unless the interviewer brings it up or they invite you back for a second interview. Make sure to visit their company website and get more information about their product line. Ask the interviewer how they got started in the company and find out what is required of the position you are interviewing for. You might even ask to see the space where you would be working and/or meet the people you would be working with. Be assertive, let them know that you want to work there. Negotiating pay can be tough during interview process. It is always easier after they confirm that they want you to work there. ~Be confident, but not cocky ~look your interviewer in the eye ~Answer truthfully ~Point out your good traits, but don't exaggerate or blow yourself up ~Do NOT chew gum! ~Turn your cell phone off ~Answer each question, don't say "I don't know" be creative! ~A creative answer is better than no answer ~Dress appropriately ~Be interested As for negotiating pay, ask what the job pays. If it is lower than expected, ask if it is possible to get higher pay, but they most likely are not going to go more than $.75 an hour more. If the cashier job in the mall pays $5.50, you are NOT going to get $9.00. That turns me off faster than anything. I'm management and I don't get that much! But ppl will come in for an interview for a temporary, parttime cashier position that barely hits min. wage and demand more money than an Assisstant manager gets. I won't even consider them as possibilities. If there was not a place on the application for how much money you want, it will probably come up in the interview. If it was on the application, you should write in "negotiable". Your pay may also be based on previous work. In one of my jobs, the average worker started at $5.15 an hour, but more experience got them $5.50. Basically, just be reasonable. Ask what it pays, if its too low, ask if you could get just a little more based on your credentials. If not, you may not want the job and its okay to tell them that you need more money to support yourself and although you regret it, you feel you'll have to look elsewhere. retail management |
