Job Interview Questions: About salary requirements for job interview?

When they ask for your salary requirement, should you always ask for more money? Is it a trick question? Like if you settle for the lowest amount they offer that's bad. Should you never settle for the lowest price they offer?

Common Job Interview Mistakes

Recommended Answer:
Depends on various factors: 1) Your first salaried job vs any job after that. 2) Normal salaries for your field and in your area. (Do some googling.) 3) Whether you want leverage.

1) If it's your first "real" salaried job (versus hourly pay), you won't have any frame of reference to compare the amount of money to, so you'll have to rely on other indicators. However, if you've had this kind of job before, you might start by mentioning the amount of your last salary, then indicate your willingness to negotiate up or down around that number. It makes sense to be a lot more picky about your second job, especially if you left your previous job in good standing with no awkward reason for termination.

2) After you've done a little research about what's normal for your field and your area, you might shoot for something that you think suits your experience and capabilities. Better idea to stay lowish than go too high (unless you are quite sure that they want you no matter what).

3) All that said, settling for the lowest or nearly the lowest salary offered has some unspoken benefits. From a job-security standpoint, consider this: Pretend you're a boss. You have one employee who is really pretty average, neither great nor sucky, but is receiving an above-average paycheck. You have another employee who shines but is receiving a below-average paycheck. You're doubly irritated with one of them, but you're feeling lucky to have the other. You might even feel a tad bitty guilty about underpaying the second one. Which one do you think you would fire first?

In the end, though, it's really a mix of what works for you, what's commonly done for others like you, and how much they want you. Don't forget to consider things like moving expenses and bonuses in with the salary offer. Also don't forget that certain jobs (like educators in the US) are not open to negotiations at all.

Interview Skills You Need To Succeed In a Job Interview

• No to both the first questions. It is certainly never a trick question.
  
  Assuming you already have the job offer, it might be a good idea to ask how much they are expecting to pay as a salary. Think hard about yourself, your circumstances and how much income you need to cover your expenses and still have some left over to save. You could tell them how much you are expecting and if they are not willing to meet it, it is a simple decision for you whether or not you want to accept their offer.

Job Interview Questions: Did i do terrible on my job interview?

i just got back from my first job interview. i was very nervous and i feel like i blew it. i kept repeating the same things over, like they would ask about my good qualities and then why they should hire me and what makes me stand out from other people and i just kept saying the same things over again each time, and on other questions i would just say "i'm not really sure how to answer that", or "i don't know, this is difficult" but at the beginning of the interview i told them i was nervous, and throughout it we were kinda laughing and joking, so i don't know?

How to Get Ready for a Job Interview: The Art of Job Interview Preparation

Job Interview Questions: What should I do after job interview?

I had an interview on Wednesday, and at the end of it, he told me that they would either make up their minds later that day or Thursday. It's now Friday and I still haven't heard anything. He said that he would let me know either way if I had got the job or not by letter, e-mail or phone.

Should I phone to ask what is going on? I'm pretty sure if they were interested in me they would have let me know by now? :(

Thanks

How To Stand Out From The Crowd At Job Interviews

Recommended Answer:
Give them a bit longer. Maybe Monday or Tuesday. Meanwhile just keep your fingers crossed and keep looking around elsewhere.
If you dont get the job, be polite with them. You never know-they might need someone again in a month or so and dig your application/info out to give you a call.

You're Not Alone If You Hate Going To Job Interviews

• Don't call them today. Something could have happened to hold them up. I would wait till at least Monday afternoon to call. Don't give up yet.


• This is a tricky one, I actually had three interviews and waited a total of five weeks over one job. They finally phoned me the day before I started another job.( I told them I was no longer interested)

Job Interview Questions: Job Interview, do i bring references and letters of recommendation?

Not really a job. I won't make any money, but it's really good on your resume. The interview is tomorrow and I don't have any references or letters of recommendation. Will they be asking for one ? The position is for being a part of organizing this event.

Job Interview Questions: Question on requesting another job interview?

I was too nervous in a job interview and did poorly. Would it be helpful to email the employer that "May I request another interview, because I was too nervous and I should have done better?"

Thanks for any helpful answer.

Eye Opening Job Interview Techniques - Discover How A Touch of Emotions Can Lead to Better Interview

Recommended Answer:
It would be extremely unlikely that they would grant you another interview. Interviews take time to do and most managers are too busy to give people "do overs" if they didn't do well the first time. Unfortunately it's up to you to calm yourself and present yourself well and as a manager who does a lot of interviewing I wouldn't give anyone a do over just because they felt they didn't do well. Sorry, just being honest here.

What you could do though which has a better chance of succeeding is to email the employer to thank them for the interview and say something along the lines that you hope they can look past your nervousness to hire you (and very very briefly reiterate one or two points of why you still think you're the best candidate for the job). You can also let them know you haven't been to many interviews yet and if they have any constructive feedback on how you could do better (regardless if they choose to hire you or not), that would be very good. Very few people think to ask for feedback on their interviewing skills and fail interview after interview without any idea why when they could just ask. Not all interviewers will provide feedback, but some will and that's invaluable information.

Employment Information - Job Interview Preparation

• No, it wouldn't be helpful. Most employers now and days do multiple interviews. If you did not receive a call back from them, then they are not interested in you. Giving you another chance would not be of their concern as there are probably many more other candidates they have to interview. They can't double back just because you messed up and should have done better.
  
  Even if it was a phone interview, the answer remains the same.


• telling a prospective employer you blew the interview because you were nervous tells the employer you don't perform well under pressure. i doubt very much if you can get another interview.

Job Interview Questions: What are good questions to ask at an job interview?

Job Interview Mistakes!

Recommended Answer:
The reason interviewers like candidates to ask questions is that it's an indicator of the candidate's genuine interest in the job, as well as their level of preparation for the interview.

No questions can mean low interest in the job and company.

Poor questions can mean a low level of preparation.

So, read up on the company. Go through their website, which will have lots of information on their products, management, and customer service channels. It should also have their latest annual report, which shows how the company wants to present their results to the public.

Then get on Google news and look at the recent press on the bank.

Get a sense of how they are doing competitively. Are they launching new products? Innovative servicing? Expanding their branch network, or cutting back? Are they facing specific challenges that you'd like to know more about? When you get a sense of how they are doing, their strategies, and their challenges, then you have the basis for an interesting set of questions.

Questions can also be specific to the role for which you are interviewing. You may want to know which other departments you would be dealing with. You may want to know about training programs available to new hires, etc.

I'm not going to give you the questions, but if you do the prep described above, you'll be more prepared for the interview, and you'll generate your own questions.

Good luck!

Job Interview Questions: What do you recommend me wearing for my job interview?

Well this is my first job interview in a long time. I have to go next week. First is going to be some sort of orientation.

I have a job interview at Best Buy and I need to know what kind of outfit would be appropriate. All
I really possess are black items of clothing, especially when it comes to nice clothes but I've been told all
black clothing is a bad idea. Also I don't have and am unable to invest in nice shoes. All I own are Converse. Can anyone guide me through this? Is it a bad idea to wear mainly black and a decent pair of tennis shoes to this job interview?

Know the Common Job Interview Questions

• Whatever you think feels right :) wearing a decent t-shirt with a collar, a pair of jeans, and your converse would be fine! the reason you might want to wear the shirt with collar is so you look serious but not to serious!(i mean like a polo shirt) But like i said at the beginning whatever you think feels right... and also try wearing blue because all the workers there do! that will make the interviewee feel like you already work there!!!!!


• Don't wear tennis shoes to a job interview. You want to dress conservative when going to an interview. A nice suit and tie...with a nice pair of dress shoes. Darker clothing is preferred. I know you may not be able to afford it...but even if it costs you just $50 get a pair of shoes that look decent.


• Who the hell told you black was a bad idea?
  
  I wear it all the time,and no one cares.
  
  I'd go with a black v-neck or any black t-shirt,and a pair of jeans.
