Six Steps to Handling Money Questions
Everyone wants as much money as an employer is
willing to shell out. Yet when it comes to job interviewing, salary questions
make most people squirm. One reason is that such questions pressure you to tip
your hand during salary negotiations. Winning the salary you want requires some
evasive action on your part. Choose your words carefully, and don't be afraid
to redirect a pointed question. These tips will help you stay in control of
your compensation.
1. How to Handle Applications or Ads Requesting
a Salary History
Not to include salary requirements. "True,
when you leave out the information, you run the risk that the employer won't
look at you because you've not put a salary in there,"But you run a
greater risk of selling yourself short, because you don't know what the range
is."
Instead, write that you expect a salary
commensurate with your experience and the job's demands. You could also write,
"negotiable," because, frankly, salary is always negotiable.
2. What Are You Currently Making?
Answer carefully. State that the new job, while
in line with your skills, can't compare to your current job. As such, your
current salary isn't a good judge of what you should earn in this position.
"Answer: What I'm making is not important, "What is important is whether
or not my skills are what you need, and I'm confident the range will be
fair." This allows you to reveal your self-confidence.
In addition, this levels the playing field if
there are two candidates, If you're currently underpaid, answering such a question
directly will work against you. "What if you work for a nonprofit, and
your pay is lower than that of another candidate who has the same skills and
experience but has a higher pay because he is with a corporation that offers
competitive salaries?" "You could be hired at a much lower figure
than the other person would have received. It's not the past salary that's
important. It's the skills and experience and what you can do for the
organization."
3. Get the Employer to Say a Number First
Every employer has a salary range in mind that
it can most often play with,"They have information you are not privy
to," she says. "When you don't know what the employer has in mind,
you can underbid yourself. Employers will jump on that. Later, you'll find out
that someone two cubicles over from you is making more money for the same work
you're doing." So find out what the range is before you state any salary
requirements.
If the range is below what you want, state that
you expect a range closer to XYZ. And make XYZ at least 10 percent to 20
percent higher than what you currently make. If you're grossly underpaid in
your position, hike it even higher.
4. What If You're Really Pushed to State a
Figure?
State a range that reflects the amount you want
to make. And remember: Employers will always look at the low end of your range,
so make the low end as high as you are comfortable with. If you make
Rs.5,00,000, state a range of Rs.5,00,000 to Rs.6,00,000 or so.
5. Prepare Yourself by Doing Some Research
Research what others in the field make. Contact
professional organizations and get their annual salary surveys. Read
professional publications. Network and look on the Web to find out what others
in your field are making.
6. Show Us Your Pay Stub
If an employer wants to contact your old
employers to verify your salary, think twice about the job. Frankly, do you
really want to work with someone who will intimidate you? "If they badger
you during the interview, a point where they're supposed to be wooing and
impressing you, think of what it'll be like when you go to work there.
The bottom line is that not only do you want
good pay, but you also want respect. And a job that provides mutual
employer-employee respect is bound to reap rewards.
