Op, what if you state your own range, let's say 150k-200k and de interviewer says its 100k max and you know they are capable of paying a little above 200k. What should someone do in such situation?? NB. Its just a question oo... |

Negotiation skills are necessary and the tips given by the Op are quite insightful but it does not always work like that, the employer has upper hand in most cases and prospective employees do not usually know their true worth or what value the company is willing to put on them until it is a tad too late. it is ok to push but it is wiser to secure the job if what is on the table meets your own expectation. It feels bad to know that you could have earned more if you had courageously negotiated further. My mistake was thinking that since the offer was already signed by the employer, it was too late to say I wanted more. 1 Like |

Well,this is a smart idea but believe you me,many ideas will never work in nigeria....if u decide to quote a particular amount,it is down to the employer to consider you....But I reckon in a situation like dis saying " I believe this is a standard organisation with a standard pay-scale,I would love to be paid what is commensurate to my work standard and level of competence"...this statement got me my first job with a good salary and full benefit package in nigeria....Na only GOD dey WIN ooo 2 Likes 1 Share |

jashar:Try to pally with at least one of the staff of d organisation for info regarding pay scale and other background info .... That is part of the research you have to do .... You need short trip to the organisation before hand, wait for closing time and present yourself to a seemingly coolheaded staff.... Insider info is very important in nabbing a Job !!! |

Honestly, when you heard people comments doubting the practicality of this negotiating template,we should understand where they are coming from. In this jungle of ours called Nigeria,it is employers' world! The demand for jobs is apperently higher than the supply,and the employers that understand that simple economic principle,use it to their own advantage.in view of this,the prospecting employees had no choice.it is the employers that determine what they can afford to pay though there are some exceptions. 1 Like |

jashar:. I think your friend got it wrong somewhere; which is, like the op said, wait until it has been established that you are the right person for the job before naming a price. Better still, act like you know what you can offer and ask what they think the position is worth. This way, you don't have to be the first to name a price. As for knowing the salary scale, maybe you girls didn't research enough. |

LaurelP: Finally no one will even tell you about non salary benefits untill they make their initial offer. Which is already past the interview stage. Am afraid your post doesn't really have a target audience. Young graduates will read this and try it at interviews, only to be disappointed. As someone who has been interviewed and also interviewed others, I advice one thing... Put the value the company will add to you first if you are a fresh graduate, but if you've got some experience, then show the company the value you bring to the table, you will be paid according to your worth. 1 Like |

Why negotiate a better salary, when you can have another source of Income.... Make 300k monthly genuinely just by using your social capital, that is the people you know... Call 08092487294 |

i quite agree with you sir, my experience on my recent interview was somehow unusual, i got in and the first question after asking for my name was 'HOW MUCH DO U WANT TO BE PAID ON THIS JOB'? it was too early for me, it felt like the interview was over already and got me off balance. so many things came to my head and i mentioned a figure. yours faithfully, they wrote it down. i felt i shlda said more maybe......#smiles..... coolhamid: |
