If a employer asks you in a telephone interview what your salary expectations are and you say you don't? |
know because you don't know the normal rate for that job, can it hurt your chances of getting that job or will they still consider you for it? There are seven rules to remember when negotiating a salary. 1. Know your bottom line. 2. Let the Company start the money talk first. 3. Avoid money talk, even if the interviewer brings up the subject. If you are asked, "What are your salary expectations for this position?" Say, "I am quite flexible in terms of salary or "I am looking for a salary that is suitable for my experience and skills as they relate to the challenges of the position." 4. He who speaks first loses. If asked what your salary expectations are say, "My salary expectations are open." Or "My salary history has been progressively competitive." 5. Always speak in terms of ranges. 6. Speak of your market value, not of your needs. 7. Understand the bounds of reality. The higher the position the easier it is to negotiate. Entry level positions tend to have little negotiating room. I hope this helps you. Peace and blessings may be, it means to them that your are not interested in how much you will be paid you are only interested in the job It could. But, it's over. Good Luck. You are supposed to say negotiable. You are not set on a wage. So, you answered correctly. Good luck! The normal reply is to say "I'm open to all considerations," or something to that effect. If they prod further ask them directly what the salary or salary range is that they are considering paying for the position. It's not a negative to probe them on what they are willing to pay. |
