You should never mention any figure. did you?

I didn't
The quoted was what I said. The CEO looked at me and smiled, he knows I am trying to be a smart one by not giving him figures.

I went for an interview once and I was asked how much I was being paid at my (then) place of work. When I told them (the honest truth) everybody in the panel were like shocked
The lady that asked me the question simply told me "Even our MD does not earn that much" and I knew that was it, I will never get this job.

By 'number' they mean the pay you think you're worth, not your phone number.

The salary question is best answered by referring to the industry standard, then factor in your qualifications and experience.

I was asked to tell them what I know about the company. I narrated all that wikipedia wrote about them and also all I have read from their official website, and I cap my narration with the point that they were the first org to introduce the MasterCard debit card, even though the interviewers were'nt aware of this fact, they were bent on argueing with me, I had to tell them to check this fact on wikipedia, the 2 ladies were just looking at me like **this guy don crayy** grin grin

One of them ask who my role model is, a question I never expected because I don't really have a particular role model. So I answered by saying, I have a lot of role model. The lady pressured me to mention a particular one of them, so I said Albert Einstein. She was like What!!! I quickly change it and said Wole soyinka. Even though they were expecting me to mention people like okonjo iweala or SLS, I tried as much as possible not to allow their pressure deter me to mention those 2 peeps cus I know nothing about them.

All of a sudden the interview started getting boring, So I was asked if I have any question for them. So I asked by bringing up the isssue of MasterCard debit card again, I asked them that if their org wasn't the first bank to introduced it then which bank did it? The lady replied me by saying "You can now go, there are lot of other applicants waiting to be interviewed" grin grin grin lols.

I was just laffing at my self on my way home. I never expect to see myself exhibit such liver grin grin lolsz..

I was called for medicals and other documentions a month after the interview cool cool

Have you ever tried saying these line - ' My major reason for applying for this job is not financially motivated. It's for career growth / exposure to how an organization like yours operate . All the same I would want a pay structure that will be fair to me and to your organization- a win-win structure. Thanks '.

Went for an interview last week, well everything was going fine until the how much do u want us to pay you question popped up and viola!! I think my price and that of the interviewer were too far apart that was when I knew. that my chances of them calling me would be slim
greed made u lost that job. Why not tell them to pay u according to the pay structure of the organisation.

I wonder why the look changed. Perhaps, he/she needs to go back to school. Zero connotes number, while 'Oh' connotes alphabet. Was probably feeling superior to you, like he is a better educated person. You should have questioned the expression, and corrected his warped English.

[quote author=wolegzy post=33162724][/quote] and you think they've not had many people tell them that generic line? I attended am interview in last April and I told him what you just mentioned. You know what he explicitely told me? "cut the crap, its all about money"! And I still had to mention a figure which later brought about negotiation. Indeed, he was correct, its all about the money.

Read what about the company exactly? Most companies are coded. You naturally wouldn't find salary talk on their websites. Plus, its not all companies that are so popular.
