Even if you must tell them. You must still to one firgure.. which one is 30k/35

If you are been paid 35k at your former workplace, add 10k to that money tell y hem they you 45k or even 50k

I have an interview with a hotel tomorrow. And on several occasions, I've been asked how much do you want us to be paying you?" but I couldn't say something reasonable.

Sometimes I'd say my former workplace paid 30k/35k or just quote some random figure, but I don't know if I'm doing it right. Though they first of all, do ask how much my transport fare is - which is #500.


Another thing, I heard hotel work is one day in, one day out (15 days total) I confirmed it in the last interview I went (but rejected the job cos the pay was low (20k). How true?

When you get an interview in company X, rech out to one or two pple (friends, friends of friends) to ask about salary, work culture and the likes so you are prepared.

Alternatively, tell the recruiter that you believe they will set you on the right salary structure where you belong with your level of experience and expertise you are bringing on board.

ScamHunter:
What you should say depends on what skills you are bringing to the company. If you do not have experience, I suggest that you rephrase the question by asking them what they pay people like you. If the answer is below your expectation, tell them that it's too low for you.

You can also go to the hotel before the day of the interview and talk with some of the staff to understand what they pay people doing your exact job. That would give you an idea of the amount to quote.

Now here's the assignment you should do before going for an interview, sit down and calculate your living expenses in a month.
Transportation
Feeding
House rent
Other basic expenses

This should be the minimum answer to give to the question if they insist that you name a figure.

My first Job as cleaner at McDonald's when I arrived LA newly,she asked me how much,I was like wtf, the igbo greed In me said $50k ,the Lady laughed so hard,few weeks later we became friends and fuckeeed, she's my baby mama now and we are living together

Blessedmercy8:
Tell them first that you believe the company has a standard of payment they use for their staff. That they should let you know what the take home for the post you're applying for is, so you'll know if its something you can accept.

If they insist that you should tell them what you can accept, then tell them 300k for starters.

What post are you applying for by the way?

Chenult:


No. I mean some interview, I say 30k while the other I may say 35k. I don't quote the both.

Ok. I will try to say 40k next time, even though I haven't work in hotel before. Thanks.

Brunicekid:
You weren't picked?

God1000:
Reasonable amount considering the current high cost of living.

You can mention the amount of money you want them to pay you, but look the hotel very well whether they can pay you such amount.
