New Job Negotiating a Salary
It is far easier negotiating a salary when
you are being offered a job, compared to trying to get a salary increase in an
existing job, however the negotiations should follow rather the same ‘rules of
thumb’, or rather the same ‘process’.
Once you have done your research and looked
into the job that suits you perfectly, and of course you have established what
personal salary you want to achieve, don’t try to hurry things by going
straight in with questions relating to remuneration should you be offered the
job.
Ensure you have worked out everything
including your salary and additional benefits – the whole package. That will give you a final figure and, if you
expect your potential employer to offer you more than your current
remuneration, add a little to that final figure and use it at the salary
negotiating stage – don’t overlook the important bits like relocation expenses
or extra travel costs.
Negotiating
Salary at Your Interview
Typically, in a first interview salary
figures may be discussed. Allow the
interviewer tell you what salary they are expecting to pay and for any new job
opening use your negotiation skills and also the information you have gathered
regarding market and personal values. It
may that your interviewer asks you what salary figure you are seeking, this is
a good time to turn the tables and question what kind of package they had in
mind so that you can use their figures as a base to work on.
Sell Yourself
But don’t sell yourself short, if you believe
that you are worth more than they are offering, then sell it to them; make sure
your potential employer knows just how much you can assist their business, what
kind of impact you will have (within your area of expertise) as well as any
inside knowledge on their competition.
Also make sure you discuss what either side can compromise on for you to
accept the job (a couple of hours here and there, can you offer more in the way
of flexibility, extra holiday, private health care, expense accounts etc).
Don’t forget, there is probably competition
for this job and potentially lots of other job hunters being considered. It may just be that you are the only suitable
candidate for the role and the employer really wants to employ you, or it may
well be there is someone they would like to take on for less money but that
person has just as good a portfolio as you so negotiating a salary at interview
stage can be a minefield, yet play it right and don’t get caught up too much on
salary and package alone – but do evaluate the new job and what they are
offering.
If you can get lots out of this job and it’s
the only or best way to progress your career, you may decide to accept the job
offer for less than you hoped for. In
this case, try suggesting putting into place a guarantee that your salary will
be increased after an interim period, putting extra efforts into your new job and
perhaps offering more flexibility for the first few months.
Finally
Whichever way it works for you, conducting
negotiation for a salary in a new job may or may not go your way. Either way, your employer may well be very
impressed with your negotiating skills!
Whatever package and final agreements have
been guaranteed, ensure that this is received in writing (usually in the offer
letter) and ensure you keep your side of the bargain too – if you promised that
putting in the extra effort was not a problem, then stick to it to help your
argument should that raise not come when agreed.
Negotiating a salary is not the easiest thing
to do, but it can help you reap rewards in the longer term if it doesn’t work
out at this interview.

Finally
Whichever way it works for you, conducting
negotiation for a salary in a new job may or may not go your way. Either way, your employer may well be very
impressed with your negotiating skills!
Whatever package and final agreements have
been guaranteed, ensure that this is received in writing (usually in the offer
letter) and ensure you keep your side of the bargain too – if you promised that
putting in the extra effort was not a problem, then stick to it to help your
argument should that raise not come when agreed.
Negotiating a salary is not the easiest thing
to do, but it can help you reap rewards in the longer term if it doesn’t work
out at this interview.
