You can still negotiate so far you have not accepted the offer letter. Forget, been a fresh graduate. If the vacancy is for an experienced resource but you were able to convince them you can do the job, they should pay you what the role deserves.

However, you need to have done your research of what the range of salary is for that role before embarking on that journey.

Negotiation is a part of recruitment process.

I was interviewed for the Job of a facility manager in a school that has nur/pry and jun/Sen sec schools and also has a boarding house. I was offered below sixty even after i proposed 100k. What do I do now pls? This is the first proper interview I attended after NYSC, SO I THINK I PLAYED A NOVICE AT it. Is it okay to renegotiate the salary even after i agreed to the previous proposal or I just let the Job go?

Experts pls help

1. The fact that you have a job, even as Facility Manager without experience required thanksgiving , my advice is that you thank God first for the job. If you appreciate God for His finger, you will see His hand.

2. Try and garner experience on the job.

3. Take time to improve on yourself with basic FM trainings for now and gradually save to join the professional bodies for FM in Nigeria such as IFMA Nigeria, BIFM Nigeria, etc.

4. As time goes on, you will put in for the most recognized certification in Facility Management which is the FMP, and you become a hotcake in the industry.

Sir/Ma, I have some other things to say but I need to relax for now as I am not feeling well.

Note: I am a Facility Manager with just 7 Years of experience and have had the privilege to manage Residential Estates in Victoria Island, Ikoyi etc. Where I am presently is the second school I am working in the same capacity, and I give baba God the glory for the journey so far.

I will advice that you accept the job and give it tour best shot. While there, find out if there is prospect for future growth. Use the period to work on tour personal and career development. Keep spreading your net. Better things will come your way.

Dear Onyegwu, I said..."which MIGHT be out of jealousy". That's a statement of probability; it'll only be true if OP's friend in question is YOU.

That is what they are willing to pay. It is a "commodity job".... if you quit they would easily get your replacement. Think of it this way, just because a man is rich doesn't mean he would be williing to pay N2000 for a bottle of Pepsi which costs N100.

60k is a lot for a fresher, in a private pri/sec sch.
U dont even have a previous experience, so if u had said 200k, and they ask u why u said that, what would u say?

exactly what am saying. A starting job. If he had worked previously where he was being paid 80k or 100k, will be different.
For freshers, some interviewers dont even bother to ask u how much u will want. They will just accept u and in d letter tell u how much u will b paid. Left for u to accept or reject.

Hello friend, I am currently the Facilities Manager of my Company and I tell you it's a great career you have an opportunity to start with. Please for now, take that offer and gather as much experience you can gather. You need to understand the Job title very well and you cannot know this without practicing the job. You know the job better on the job while you're also building up your CV.

I tell you the next opportunity might be time three of that present amount.
Another way you can get them pay you is to push for trainings on Facilities Management which would boost your confidence and increase your ability know how on the job. If you want more ideas you can contact me on 09083493777

Pls grab this and gather experience. God bless us all Amen

The truth is all you need now is to establish yourself on the job and prove your proficiency. I have been in similar situation. After two weeks, I wrote a letter of resignation and my boss called me to discuss why I wanted to leave. I told him I have gotten a job with a better pay. Can u believe he immediately offered an increase in pay to keep me. This can only be possible after you have established your level of professionalism on the job.

facility manager?

do they even need one, when there is a security officer n can attend to emergency when they arise n they do routine maintenance at the end of every term. In a private school there is damage n repair rule to students/pupil so teachers will report to principal as such issues arises

60k is even much for such needless role.

no stress at all Na boredom go be your wahala
