When next u are asked that kind of question,ensure u avoid stating an amount. You could say, "I believe that a reputable company like urs can pay me a fairly reasonable and motivating amount, which will not affect their budgeted profit". Leave the interviewer to struggle with the meaning.
Always make ur responses as short as possible

Wow.

1 bottle of groundnut for U



Thumbs up

frank donga things

Next time, u will direct the question to the interviewer that' I believe there is a stipulated amount/ salary for the position you are recruiting'... that will make u be in a safer position instead of mentioning a lower or higher amount....sotigbo?

Nice, but what if the interviewer insisted on mentioning an amount?

No wonder

Its clear now, I'm not surprise

I was asked the same question during my interview at my present place of work and I was just beating around the bush mentioning between 50 and 55k...lo and behold, I was offered 55k....when I resumed, my immediate boss who championed the interview told me I was the one that bleeped up that the minimum they were gona offer me was 75k but the MD said since I was the one that mentioned how much I want.....u see ma life

where are you from?

Sugar Refinery should pay a minimum of #200K

Falling t that pressure means u are soft. No one wants to recruit a 'softie'.
Tell the interviewer that u believe they already have an approved amount for this job, that you stating that amount won't change it.
Avoid to kick urself by stating a lower amount, interviewers tend to select the smart one who is weak in negotiating.
It is better u loose it than to get a tedious job with a non-worthy pay. It is not easy finding another while busy with a job already so don't try to manage 'anything'

Thanks hertz9te

olumzzz:

Story...u dnt knw hw many years ds guys have conducting interviews...Dem go tell u 2 leave d grammar n giv dem a figure

Most times they want to see ur power to withstand pressure and they are also able to reduce the approved salary when u negotiate lower.
We need to be smart too

wristbangle:

Same here baby

Dexema:
you must be a wicked person, see as you take give your interviewer assignment wey hin no ask for...anyway I just screengrabbed your post

Hahahaha...my dear we must survive in our various future jobs

redcliff:


I dont get.. you were asked a simple question. You should give an answer to that. Tell them what you think they should pay you simple!

Anyhow its been said could still be shooting self in foot.

...because u know d profit margin and a contact in their Human Resource who has told u the approved salary for the job role

busky101:

Tanx Busky

mehn...thats sounded so desperate.

neoapocalypse:


This your response isn't that short missy and it's quite ambiguous for a response.

If I were interviewing you and you give me this kind of answer it would be a definite minus in my books.

Read d quote again and tell me how long it is

you spoke my mind......u dnt mention a specific amount..

Pls tell those arguing it

tafrica:
OP,

If you really impressed them on technical questions during the interview, I think salary issues wouldn't be why they'll drop you. It's clear you didn't ask above what they would have paid you, that might have caused being dropped for asking too much.

Just remain hopeful and prayerful. Next time, do as amiLaHoit said. Just tell them to pay you within the company's salary structure for the position you're being interviewed for and tell them working is even more of a priority than the salary (especially if you're a young graduate), though all na lie, we all need fat salary.

BTW, did you apply online and do any test or just dropped hard copy CV through someone?

I'm also expecting an interview, reason I asked.

Success.

Thank u dear. GOD's grace in ur pending interview.
