Job Salary: Avoid the 6 Biggest Mistakes!
You're on track to land your dream job. But can you afford it?
Knowing how to handle the money question plagues job seekers.
Especially if you're exploring an opportunity that looks very
promising.
You don't want to jinx the situation by prematurely asking about
the salary. On the other hand, if they can't afford you, you
don't want top waste your time pursuing a hopeless employment
goal.
Before you even go to an interview or first meeting with a
decision-maker you MUST avoid the compensation pitfalls that can
derail your good intentions. Here are the most serious mistakes
to avoid.
1. Failing to do your homework. Gather all employment and
compensation information you can before you go on an interview.
2. Jumping the gun. In the interest of not wasting your time if
they can't afford you, you decide to pose the salary question
right up front. You just lost all negotiating power . . . and
probably a job offer.
3. Not taking the time to show the value you bring to the
organization. No one will offer you a job or enter into salary
negotiations if they can't see how you can contribute. It's up
to you to make sure they see very specifically how you can make
s difference.
4. Lowering your expectations. If an offer is made at a lower
level than
you expected, don't take it or leave it. Negotiate
it. Tell them you're thrilled that they think enough of you to
offer you a position. Now you want to take the time to consider
it in light of other opportunities you're looking at. Then set
up a time to come back.
5. Failing to be flexible. Your goal and that of your
prospective employer may be quite different. Your objective is
to find out what triggers their interest in you, and then find
ways to accommodate them.
6. Losing patience. This usually results in discouragement of
abandonment t of an opportunity because they're not responding
according to your timetable. Always ask what their timetable is
for making a decision. The go out and pursue a couple more
opportunities.
Landing the best job for you requires careful preparation. It
doesn't happen by chance. The best position for you allows you
to select your next job rather than settle for it. Avoiding the
pitfalls is a first step to your job search success.
