“I have been invited to 5
interviews this year and some few second interviews. Unfortunately, when it
gets to the salary negotiation part I fail miserably. In a particular
interview, the hiring manager told me that I am an expensive candidate. What
should I do during my next interview”“All salaries are negotiable So long as a job is salaried there
is always room for negotiation,”
1. Talking about the money too early in an interview is a salary
negotiation mistake
The only time you get to ask about the salary is when you already have a job offer. Asking before gives an impression that you are only interested in the money and not the job.

2. Committing too quickly
The employer said an offer a bit higher than you had expected and you say ‘yes’ right away. Even if you like the offer, request for some time to think about the offer, then if allowed give your answer.

3. Not quantifying your value
During the salary negotiation the employer is looking to understand why you are asking for such an amount of money. Don’t just mention the economy and your experience as the justification. Add some quantifiable achievements such as reducing company revenue and how this could translate to their company.

4. Lack of Confidence
Imagine negotiating a salary with your head bent down and the employer cannot hear what you are saying. Will the employer take you seriously? Lack of confidence shows that your skills are questionable and that you are not sure of what you want or whether your skills are worth it. Be confident and the employer will respect you.

5. Being confrontational
You already got the job offer and even if you think that their salary is too small for your liking, remain calm. A candidate once stormed out of an interview cursing because the offer was too small. Little did he know that it was just a test. Had he waited and remained calm, it would have ended well.for more interview tips https://web.facebook.com/pevecommssolutions
