5 Things You Need To Negotiate Before Accepting A Job by EduRegard: 4:09pm On Jan 03, 2017 |
After searching for a job for so long, it would take a certain measure of self-control to resist the urge to agree to take the job without even considering what it may cost you. Some jobs have been known to cost employees more than the job is giving back to them. This usually happens as a result of poor negotiation on the part of the employees before taking the job. Here are a few ideas on things you should consider negotiating with your employer before you accept the job. 1. Salary This, of course, is the principal thing on any job seeker’s mind. Though it’s not every time one gets to negotiate the amount of salary he/she wants to be paid per month, but whenever you do get the chance, be sure to make a good bargain. There are situations where employees at the same level within the same company have been known to collect different salaries owing to different bargaining power. 2. Transportation If this isn’t already listed amongst the staff welfare benefits, you may decide to ask. Transportation chops up a lot of one’s income especially if you have to take public transport, so you might want to take the distance from your house to the work-place into account while negotiating. 3. More vacation time / Leave Vacations are usually great times to take a break from all that stress at work and get a clear head. Most employer’s are you usually more willing to extend vacation time than to have employees troubling them for a raise. So you might want to negotiate that with your employer before accepting the job. 4. Flexible work hours You might consider asking your employer for more flexible hours, depending on the kind of work you do. For example, if you only worked with computers as a customer care agent, you may request for one day in a week where you’d be allowed to work from home. 5. Sponsoring further education You can always ask that your further education be sponsored by your company, especially if you have signed a long term contract to continue to work for that company or have shown intents that you won’t be leaving anytime soon In conclusion, nothing brings progress than having to work under the most suitable conditions, therefore, endeavor to consider the five points above and others before saying Yes to any job invitation.

Where you even see the job to start bargaining salary? For Naija, few jobs offer the opportunity to bargain salary. It's what the employer gives you take. You sure you want the job? |

U dovthese things if u have not experienced unemployment. I.e. if u have not been hungry. These things don't apply in Africa, let alone Nigeria. They would tell u to go home and wait to hear from them. U would wait and grow old. |

Infact is it not when you scale through the screening process and you're duly called upon that you get to negotiate issues like this. Nigeria is just another planet on earth where you need people to meet people who has the job |

That's the normal and the legal thing but you would not even want to make those demands in a situation where there are thousands of people craving jobs for anything |

Salary negotiation is important, some of my colleagues are getting between 5-10k lesser than mine because they just took what the boss told them she'd pay. Now that I have access to their pay slip I feel sorry because we put in same work hours, same qualification, they spend more on t-fare and still get lesser pay. Key thing is never look, sound or behave desperate during an interview. 1 Like |
