I Hate The Question "What Salary Do You Expect?"

   When they ask you, for example, you say I expect a salary of 1000 to 1400 euros . You have to say how much and how much money you expect, but you also have to make a preliminary study of how the salaries of this position for which you are applying are going.

   1 so I will undercut the salaries ?! And why are almost all ads for call centers already in the job? Part of which semi-legal companies working with Forex or betting? Where do the institutions sleep? 2011-2013 when I used the job there were no such phantom companies and there was another small business besides shops and forex call centers? I'm coming back from abroad and I can't believe what our economy has become - apart from IT, only telephone operators, sometimes in big call centers, sometimes in such fake companies. In practice, except in Sitel, 60k and the like elsewhere both lie and do not pay as well as them. But phones are up to date, this is not a career!

   Well, study the market well, what are the salaries in this sector. See where they get the highest salaries and say so. I don't think they take you because of this question. Although when you say an unrealistic salary you may think that you are not aware because you have no experience. I am not an employer, but I think very few people prepare properly for the interview. As the elementary thing is to at least know where you will work, to study the company well. A job interview is like selling something, only selling yourself. You have to be well prepared, to give them proof that this product will really be useful to them. Therefore, you need to know the price. It's like selling a refrigerator. Several people offer them several refrigerators. It is your job to convince them that yours is the best. To a large extent, commercial skills are required.

   You say according to your qualifications. For example, if you really want the job, but you have to be trained, you say: I would like the usual for the industry, but since there will be a training period, I would give up for the first three months by a few percent, then the usual for the industry and after one year with a percentage above, after three more and after five more. Or if you have solid experience and special skills, you say: In view of my skills, which will certainly be useful for our work, I would like to be one percent higher than usual for the first year, for the third, for the fifth. In general, you can use this question by showing them a desire to stay with them for a long time and by showing them how to keep you. Besides, maybe you want your travel expenses to be covered, it would also be good to mention readiness for overtime work or a weekend, not forgetting to add that you accordingly expect to be paid at least under the current Code. Maybe you have bonuses from the past job that you want to keep - additional insurance for example. This is not a price undercut between the candidates, but a question of your serious attitude to the position and your real assessment of your skills.

   All colleagues have presented things from the employee's point of view. In large companies, this issue is mainly to check how the salaries are going in the competition. with a few exceptions. In small companies, they can really fuck you if you say a little, especially if you can't compare.

   Up to 14 I'm sorry, but how to say according to my qualifications. It's not like they have a list with which diplomas, how many years of experience in which companies and what skills cost how much, so that I can collect it and say “Mmmmmdaaa, so I have a diploma in X here, that's 480 euros per month, I can do this for 140 euros and the one for 200 euros , I have 2 years of experience in a company of the second category, these are 100 euros per year and 3 years in a company of the first category (so to speak), these are 120 euros per year , supposedly it becomes 1380 euros , so I want so much and a point ”

   Nasty questions: 1. Why did you leave your previous job (obviously I didn't leave because it was nice, BUT they want you to praise their previous job) 2. How do you see yourself in 5 years (How do I know, was) 3. What salary do you expect (As much as you give) 4. What are you doing at the moment (Obviously with nothing - I'm looking for a job) 5. What do you know about this company (How to tell the lady, who is obviously the mistress of the boss, THAT most candidates apply for 50 ads, because that way they have a better chance to choose them ... And, NO - I don't know anything about your damn company, and I urgently need any job, because I will die of hunger !!!)

   And I'm very annoyed by such stupid questions, to which they know the answer, but they pretend to be hit. And you can't tell the truth and answer according to protocol what they want to hear, no matter that you and they are aware of the truth. I do not understand the meaning of such questions. My favorite is "what made you choose us". Well, she and you know that you're just looking for a job and let the SVs go, wherever it shines on you. But you must have been interested in advance in how great a company they are, in what markets they sell, and for how many centuries they have been on the market, so that you scratch their egos, as if they have been warming me for 50 years or 100. . The truth is that they are just one of all the companies, but how can I tell her "well, I'm running the SVs and you're just one of all the companies that have placed an ad". And she knows it, and you know it, however, she has to pretend she doesn't know, and you have to pretend that almost as a child you dream of one day growing up and working for them. And what's even dumber is that she not only knows it's not, but she also knows you're pretending to be a clown and thinking about how not to splash things and shine. Or the other question - why do you want to do this job. Emmy for money, what do you think? Do you think that if I could make money without working, I would deal with you and your stupid pretense instead of drinking my cocktail in Hawaii? Why I quit my job - I think I have reached the maximum there and I want to develop even more. Nonsense on wheels - well, the boss is a dumb piece and just beats you, he wants a lot of work, and in return throws you some 1000 euros . But if I say that, the boss will not be guilty of being an ass, and I will be ungrateful and incompetent to work in a team. Because they are on his side of the table, the fact that the boss may be an asshole and I'm right is out of the question. The boss is a dude by default and if you have a conflict with him, you are to blame for the default and there is no chance the boss is an asshole, period. What salary would satisfy you - well, since I've made rough calculations, some 30 vouchers will fit me perfectly, I will be able to afford vacations twice a year, which is my dream and to be able to pay for the house I saw on the site for sale of luxury properties. But since I know that you will not give me more than 1000, I will say 1200, and we can shake hands on 1000. Not that they suit me, but better with 1000 than without them, that I am currently stuck for work. And when you hire me, I'll look for it again in case something more readable comes out and I'll whip myself at the first opportunity. I still didn't understand the meaning of these questions, since you obviously won't tell the truth. Let's see how much we can lie and pretend that we trust each other, I don't know.

   Oh, believe me, they ask me this every time. At each interview I was asked what my expected salary was. I directly say 2000 euros and not a penny less. I don't care at all if they offer or not. I have 2 higher educations, I speak 3 foreign languages ​​perfectly and there is no way to throw some funny money at me. I remember several cases. One of them said that I was told that under the contract it is 800 euros , but I will have bonuses, it's just about call centers here and I explained to the gentleman that I gave a lot of money for language courses and for earning of certificates and this can not happen. He began to explain to me that I have no experience and I told him that it is not experience that matters, but knowledge. I went straight. The second was a call center again, the girl was cute, we talked and finally she asked me the same question and I threw her at 2000 euros and she embarrassedly said that they give 900 euros and I told her that for this money and the phone I will not pick up and I left. In the third place I went I interviewed a foreigner, and I told her the same amount. She came out in 2 minutes and came back and told me "YOU HAVE THEM". I carried diplomas, certificates, everything. There was nothing to do with me to reduce the amount. However, the bad thing is that where my office was it was comfortable and the workplace was on the other side of Sofia and it was an hour and a half and when they called me I refused and when I refused they started insulting me, behaving rudely, that I wasn't a princess, that I couldn't travel and I cursed them, I honestly tell you if you want to call me rude, but I told them like people that I'm far away and thank you, but it doesn't happen and they didn't like it. Now I am unemployed and I am looking for a job as a financial manager. I found one and the salary is euros 8,000 firmly, but it has its responsibilities. Believe me, I will get the job, I am persistent. I tell myself how much I want, in this case they themselves offered this salary. If I see that I do not meet the criteria, I will look for a job in the same company, but for 2000 euros again. I do not fall below this amount. It is pure humiliation for me. My parents were disappointed because I had worked as a saleswoman for euros 700 and they told me that they had given over euros 40,000 for university, certificates and training abroad and I was exposing myself and they told me not to fall until I found 2 vouchers. low. And I stick to mine. Once it happens, it will happen again. Set an amount and stick to it. Don't let them double your money, do not undercut wages. In the store, when they ask you for euros 200 for a jacket, no one asks you if you have them and if you want a discount. The standard of living is high, the salaries are low. We did it that way. While there are balms to work for 700 euros , there will be those who want 200 euros for a leather jacket made of faux leather in the mall. So stick to yours and you will succeed.

   The last time I said euros 5,000, they offered me euros 2,500. As this was a starting salary. I accepted because my real expectations were max 1500, and the other places where they asked me the question - "when can you start" offered 1000-1200. We are talking about work in the IT field in Plovdiv. On the 6th month I will remind them of the starting salary :) Ie. It's March ....

   You and anyone who is not indoctrinated in modern corporate culture ...

   10 What experience do you have and what exactly is your position?

   To such a question, I would say that it depends on what exactly I do and how I do it. Then I would say that my expected salary would vary from (you say your absolute minimum, below which you will not fall) to ... (expected best for the position), as the employer should judge for himself according to his budget, but also keep in mind that he can always stimulate his employee if he is satisfied with him.

   I laughed with number 8: D How I was annoyed by these stories because I don't feel like stretching Turkish delights and hypocrisy. And "irritated" because for 3 years I do not work for a salary, but for a fee. I insure myself in the company of my relative by prepaying him for the next 6 months. I was written by an office assistant. If you work in a salary company, there will always be questions. And to be for years, if the boss listens, you still have to "ask" for the increase. So we come to the freer professions (WITHOUT own business). Yoga-ski-fitness instructors, language teachers, tour guides, real estate agents, taxi drivers and others. In the areas I have listed, I know people who make very good money and those who make money. It depends on the attitude of the person - here the topic is long.

   They find out how much anyone would work for. They know very well what the salary is, but they want you to play the fortune teller. Any normal candidate would say over 1000 on top, and they know it. But secretly expect you to say 500-600. Another favorite question is: "What made you apply to us?" Well, the lack of work and money, what else? But here you are expected to spread goodies and glorify a company that you may not have heard before the announcement. People apply in many places, how do they expect you to remember exactly what attracted you? Another mandatory question is: '' Are you married, do you have children? Who do you live with? '' A slightly discriminatory question, and inappropriate. And quite annoying.

   Call center only with foreign languages, Bulgarian are scammers

   Such a question is not answered directly. The employer must offer the payment first. If someone doesn't want to tell you your salary, it means they will play you at the first opportunity; as long as someone appears to agree to euros 50 less. It's like going into the bakery and being asked "how much do you pay for this bread". I have been asked this many times. I answer like this: "I think the employer should offer, not the employee." 90% of the time I received an offer. Why you are ashamed to set conditions, I do not understand.

   "And how much do you offer?"!

   Protect your rights and do not undercut wages. This harms both the company and yourself. And no, if you are pathetic and do not want to, they see it and have nothing more to give you.

   I don't know about you, BUT here the bosses laugh when someone tells them that he has a higher education ... They are a pitiful picture, but they have settled for the post, to get rid of all sorts of saffron candidates !!! And we poor boys with higher education can go abroad ... FACTS!

   My personal guess is not to pass. They know more or less how much they would give, but if they told you in advance, and you could have agreed to less, they would have passed. For example, if they have estimated that they can give a maximum of euros 1,000 and you say euros 2,000 - forty. However, if you're stuck and lie to say 800, that's 200 cents saved. Some time ago I read a book on negotiation and one of the most fundamental rules was just that - never tell you the first offer. On the contrary - if you HEAR the first offer first, then you automatically receive information on how far you can bargain. You just take the first offer and settle some 20% better terms, because you know that the first offer is never firm. However, if you first propose, you shoot in the air at random without any information and even you give them information that they can take advantage of. So suck in, but never say a specific amount first. Don't hesitate to ask them to offer first. Especially large companies have pre-approved salaries for each position (at least for most) and even if they vary it will not be in a large range. So they know very well what your salary will be more or less long before you apply. And for small companies it is already a strong bargain. If you squat at the beginning of a small salary, he will immediately form an opinion of a baker about you and he will use you for that in the future and it will be difficult to change his opinion. Of course, it also depends on your level of competence. So suck in, but never say a specific amount first. Don't hesitate to ask them to offer first.

   HR protects the company from its employees ... that's it!

   Up to 21 If I tell you 2000, you call me "forty but 1000". If it passes, 1000 quintals are "won" ...

   Very nasty question, because if you say less than they are willing to give, they will automatically give you less money, and if you tell them a higher salary than they are willing to give, it will be "well, yes, we will call you ... ", i.e. you burn because we all know what it means to tell you at the end of an interview "we'll call you". So I think it's best not to name a specific number, but to return it to them with a counter question "what salary can you offer me?" and then decide whether you like what they offer you or not. We still seem to forget that we also have the right to ask questions at a job interview, and we are not obliged to answer all the questions, no matter how absurd, and to automatically agree with everything they offer us. Once we were invited for an interview, obviously the company in question needs us or at least a person like us, ie. we can make the most of it and get the most out of it, rather than grumbling and nodding understandingly when our rights are clearly being violated by explaining that they will provide us with a minimum wage or that extra work is not paid to them. So, in an interview, do not take on the role of beggars, but of people who know their capabilities and know what they would compromise with and what not. Yes, compromises always have to be made, but they should not be about fundamental things like salaries, insurance, sick leave, vacations, etc. Otherwise, it may be that you have agreed to be paid once every 2 months, to work 7 days a week and all that. It's just that when you sell your work, you have to approach it as a very serious deal, rather than signing contracts without even reading them and only later finding out exactly what he signed. The job interview is like serious business negotiations! I offer a product (my knowledge, skills and time), on the other hand you need it and want to buy it, so we have to agree on a price that is advantageous for both parties. That's it. And it's not begging and compromising with everything just to hire me. Because if I am not satisfied with what you offer me, I can always sell my knowledge to someone else. Especially if it is a specialist in a field. And when both sides understand it that way, I think job interviews will be a lot more useful and meaningful than asking stupid questions that have nothing to do with work.

   This question is asked on the one hand, so as not to push the "great" employer, and on the other hand, to see if it makes sense to invite you to a second interview. This is the easiest way to sift out the candidates, because whoever says a higher amount than the one they give is crossed out directly. If you really want a job or they are forced, say a relatively low amount compared to what the market offers. If you're just looking for a better job, tell yourself as much as you really want. In general, if the company is serious, which unfortunately are few in our country, it should give adequate salaries above the national average. If the company is not readable, it is better not to start in it at all or to leave as soon as possible. For example, at the moment I am looking for a better offer than the current one and I directly tell myself what I want in the beginning. Under the same conditions, there is no point in changing jobs. There's no point in wasting interviews and ending up wasting my time. If I am out of work, I will lower my conditions and see how things are in the new place. If I don't like it, I can always leave.

   I personally think that this issue should start - if they can not afford my time and services - there is no point in wasting time. And if they can - then it makes sense to talk to find out if it's worth doing.

   The question is cool: you give the answer "As you tell me" and the employer decides that you are some kind of swindler. He hires you (you always need a swindler), and then you can surprise him when he finds out you're not such a soft Ghana! If you lie to give an amount, you enter the ranking and if you did not give the lowest amount, goodbye, work! This aims to weed out those who need to be paid from those who just don't want them to pay.

   And if I say that for me it is not money but fame that is important? For example, I would be happy to earn less than my colleagues if I was pinned on the billboard of the company's building and / or on company materials, posters, corporate emails and the like. I don't want to be another office mouse, even if I take euros 5,000!
