Job Interview Questions: During a recent job interview, when asked about salary requirements, I said something lower than the range?

listed for the position, I did however state with consideration of the entire compensation package. I now have a job offer and I am worried that they will try to low ball me. Is there any way I can recover from this and atleast get back in the range the company listed? Please help!! BTW, I have 7 years of experience and the company was only lookinf for someone with 3--can I use that as leverage or are all negotiations off?

Self-Speaking Lies About Job Interviews

Recommended Answer:
I am a consultant, so I am looking for a job every few months...so this comes from an experience :-)

wait for their offer....once they give the offer, if it is lower then what they stated in the position...tell them that you were looking for 4 weeks of vacation....because that is what you expected when you gave them the lower number. If they don't agree with 4 week of vacation (which most probably they won't)....you ask for more money. If they do agree....then believe me....4 weeks is a very good vacation....you can take 4 weeks off and work some parttime job and make the difference.

Job Interview Technique - 6 Tips To Get Yours Up To Scratch

• If you have already said how much do you want then I think you can do this:
  Tell them you just stated the starting salary, before you begin working for them you want to be ensured that your salary will be increased to...$ after 2 or 3months.


• Did not the job offer include the salary amount. Yes call them and say you are very interested in accepting the position but need to know the salary.
