The simple answer is,there is a particular salary structure for every department in a company,so when you are asked the question,tell your interviewer that the post you are seeking for has a payment structure the company offers and you will be ok accepting that plan............but make sure u have an idea of the salary structure before going for the interview..

Give them a range buh most times they can tell you to be specific...

Kentnickole:


Yea, some of them would insist that you specify.

annoymous:


Well, what I did (like a month ago) was to ask from people I know what the pay is like for that position. I told them I wanted something in that range but that I was pretty flexible. However, when I finally got the job, they offered me what I requested and a little more but Oliver Twist me, i decided to negotiate and they increased it even further. So what you specify is not necessarily what you'll get especially if they like you.

Kentnickole:



I like ur candid statement. Sorry am asking for more... Could you put it in sentence, just the way u expressed it then?

Godditex:
I have an interview in an advertising and marketing communications firm next week. I have research on the pay structure for an entry level in the field but no possible idea. Would it be wrong if I mention 90k-100k as my pay? Thanks!

Kentnickole:




Thanks for the contribution. However, there are occasions where one's researches on salary structure for a particular position are unavailable. What do you do?

Sunnypar:
Yes, it will be wrong because you do not know what is obtainable for entry level in that industry.

Furthermore, it is good you gave a range, but tell them you are open to negotiation, the interviewer might want to hear a particular figure from you, 90+100k/2, that is, give him the average but be quick to tell them you are open to negotiations.

Sunnypar:
Look at what you earn at the moment with someone in a similar industry for example, FMCG , we have clothing line, foodstuff, drinks e.t.c look at what they pay that person say 900k and give them a range say 800-1.5m, however if you have ! experiencing that job position you could start from1.5m.

Moreso, if you are unable to find anyone in similar industry, advice you calculate all your expenses such as transport, feeding,clothing,offering and flexing deduct it from the figure you have in mind and give a figure.
P.S., note that your expenses if for the month and if you calculate transport please include hold-up, traffic gridlock and raining season.

I think what dey r asking u indirectly is "how much is ur service worth?" Dey want 2 know hw much u value ursef. Give them a specific figure and tell them u r open to negotiation. Say it with confidence.
