DO NOT ANSWER THIS INTERVIEW QUESTION LIKE THESE PEOPLE!!!
Real life responses from people when asked about salary in interview ⛔
”Ask the agency, I don’t want to get involved’
”I am flexible I just want a job”
” I know your looking to pay a maximum of £40,000p/a but I want £45,000p/a”
”Make me an offer”
”I hate this question”
”I told the agency I would be flexible on salary but I’m actually looking for more than was advertised but thought I would get in front of you to show you i was worth more”
People find talking about money distasteful and awkward at the best of times.
But regarding Interviewing its important you represent your value in the right way.
My advice…. keep it SIMPLE
Make sure you know what the role is paying and have discussed with the agency prior to what they have said your expectations are.
Then answer like this…’ I am looking for ”X” but it’s important for me to find the right company and role”
No need to explain and justify.
Remember your worth and say a figure that falls in line with yours and the clients expectations.
Hope this helps and good luck to all of you interviewing today!!
