Career Change – Average Job Salaries – When To Ask?
I was just reading Liz Ryan’s post about when to ask about salary. She’s absolutely right you should never be the first to mention salary. Best practice is that you should be ‘offered’ and then you should have the salary negotiation. If they try to ask for your salary before they have offered it is usually as a means of ‘deselecting’ you for the job. You need to develop strategies for ‘deferring’ questioning about your exact salary. Not an easy one because the last thing you want to do is irritate or upset them. Speak to your coach and do some pre-interview and negotiation training. Limber up! This one question alone can cost YOU tens of thousands, nevermind the possibility of losing the job itself with the ‘wrong’ answer.
