This is one lie which will burn you later when you get the job and you are asked to bring your credentials. Part of the documents they will request for is the employment letter given to you by previous company, and it usually contains information like terms and conditions which includes salary. They do this to verify if you are actually who you say you are.

If you told the HR you earn N100,000 at your previous work place whereas your employment letter show N60,000, they will deny you the job because you are dubious. No company will want to employ a shady employee. It's such that forge document to dupe the company.

Your approach is dubious and fraudulent. HRs are smart.

But the approach in the OP is perfect because it tells the HR that the job seeker is smart and knows his worth. If the pay they are offering is good, it should be left to the job seeker to accept it, reject it or even request for more.

You see, if the job seeker successfully keeps his previous pay private and he gets the new job, the HR will be marveled when he discovers that he actually earned way lesser than they offered him. This the HR will find out from his credentials which must contain his employment letter from previous company. That alone will tell the HR that they employed a smart person for the job who will wriggle himself out of a tight angle to get his desire.

'I hear you Sir'. Meanwhile, for the sake of clarity and if you comprehend the part you quoted, the N100,000 stated is a variable that meant the amount an individual earned from his/her previous employer.

That said, I have worked with 8 separate employers and in position to advice individuals who are willing to listen and learn.

awww you're into business development for an oil and gas coy?
I am too but my salary is way low

Sorry about the low pay. Be on the lookout for opportunities and leave your current employer as soon as possible.... low is relative though. My assumption is that your pay is below N150,000...if that is correct.. how many years of experience do you have -2 or 3?

Bottomline, the best way to get a pay raise in 9ja is to leave your current employer.

Oando asked me same I bluntly refused. I reminded them of their core values-TRIPPS
T: Teamwork
R: Respect
I: Integrity
P:Passion
P: Professionalism
I keyed onto Respect to my then employer with Integrity and utmost form of Professionalism.
It was intensed. But I held on. At the end there was no compromise.
I was not called back, I called the HR he was nice I must say. Though he said my performance was not up to expectations. However that I could have done myself a favour if I had mentioned my then salary as that could have given them a choice to place me as a trainee.

That's not the best approach. I hope you have read my suggestions on this thread.

During my most recent interview, the company MD asked a question about the previous works I have executed successfully, I gave an idea... but he wanted me to mention the exact project titles (has to do with oil and gas industry tendering).

I told him I don't cram project titles and that I can reference them from my laptop. I went further to tell him that the questions he is asking me is not what demonstrates if I am fit for the job.

He was quite for a moment and asked what questions would demonstrate I am fit for the role. I said, 'I think the question you should ask is, 'what do you do when you receive a tender?', 'what steps do you take while responding to a tender?', the interviewer gave me a nod to answer the questions I suggested, I did and got the job.

I am sharing this to emphasize you need to be confident during interviews (you must be polite too) and know that the employer needs you as much as you need them. Just show them that you know your stuff and that you are the right fit for the job.

Ace your next Job Interview

When you get a chance to interview for your dream job, you don't want a below par performance to cost you the job....

Don't be like the newbie graduates who recount their family tree and favorite meal when asked, ' tell us about yourself ' or those who suddenly develop sweaty palms and lose their balance when asked behavioural questions like:

- Have you ever made a mistake, how did you handle it?


- Describe a time when you had to handle a very upset customer?

- Tell me a time when you worked effectively under pressure?

This approach will be for a beginner. Some prospective employers even request for payslips from previous employer. Above response is too dramatic...I strongly discourage it.

I think what is important is for the job seeker to know his/her relative worth and do your homework to know the average salary scale for that Industry or Job role.

Come to think of it, let's say you earned N50,000 at your previous job, and you are aware the role you are interviewing for can pay N200,000. Must you tell the interviewer you earned N50,000

If I am to advice, the appropriate answers to consider are:

1. "I believe you have a rate for this job role"
2. You probe... "How much are you offering for this position"
3. If you have done your homework or know your relative worth, "I have a salary scale between N150,000 - N200000 in mind" or you name the minimum salary you can accept.
4. "I earned N100,000 (mention the amount you earned previously) at my last workplace, and believe I deserve a better compensation, if they paid me more, I may still be with them"

Bottomline is that you should know your stuff. Make sure you are valuable, an asset, resourceful..that is what counts.


Whenever you attend an interview, go there with a mindset that you are there to help the company achieve their goal, they need you as much as you need them. So be composed and confident.
