Human Resources : How to Negotiate Salary During Job Offer

[davindersainii]

EXCELLENT TIPS, THANK YOU SO MUCH

I asked the salary range during the phone conversation. Then at the end of a face-to-face interview HR manager asked me what's my salary expectation. I said just the same she told me during our conversation. But I noticed that when I mentioned the salary expectation (which was too little for me) she rolled her eyes. What was that? Ok, I am just curious but I didn't get the job anyway. Still thinks even if I was hired I would be upset with my salary.

good stuff. I was asked on job interview for a HR Assistant position how much I'd like to be paid. He put me on the spot. I said "what is average for someone with little experience in HR, which is around $15 per hour" He told me "I know what Salary.com says, I want to know what you desire". I told him "$15 per hour". He took into consideration of my drive time to his office (over 2 hours in traffic or 60 miles one way) and he asked me "Is that going to be enough?" Did I get the job? NOPE!

[destroyerbmx]

@boogiedownbri no, thats about ridiculousness, they just want to you feel small to their new job.

I actually tried this out today at an interview. For me personally it didn't go very well to say the least lol. However I'm glad I did this because it gave me the chance to test my prospective employer and judge what kind of boss he would be.

Sometimes it's not just about the money but you get to learn about how people behave ;-) And for that I'm glad I failed misrebly at it.

I just got a job offer and when I went into orientation she just showed me what I was going to get paid and she kind of expected me to sign. I did it and I really regret it. Its about 25% less then what others in the same field are offering. I don;t know how i can go back and renegotiate. I haven;t started yet so hopefully the window is not closed. I don;t even knw how to bring up the topic now.

@sweetreview That stinks. I am not an expert, and I don't know how you can bring it up, but I do know what a BATNA is: Best Alternative To a Negotiated Agreement. If you are willing to walk away, you may not get the job, but at least you won't be ripped off and miserable every day. My BATNA is being at home all day, and I kind of like it.

Excellent advice. Thank you.

Reversing the the negotiation position is very useful. I like the word "flexibility" and will carry this into future negotiations

[lovepeace2you]

this may have been true in the past, but now when people don't have jobs... well... there is not much negotiation... really... I've tried on 3 different occasions, turned down first two and accepted the third... I'll be making $20K less than before the layoff
