10 common mistakes we all do when negotiating our salaries

2. The second mistake.

“I feel uncomfortable asking about the occupational earnings.”

Do not ignore the question of wages. If the job posting says nothing about the salary, and the employer does not raise the topic during the interview, then at the end of the conversation you should gently move to the discussion of monetary compensation.If the applicant is not interested in the value of wage, it says the employer about his distraction and shyness. Those people usually agree to get any money. Such candidates are either screened out or recruited on unfavourable terms.

3. The third mistake.

“How many you can give?” You should not avoid answering the question: “What salary would you like to receive?”.

There is the question of the applicants, who are afraid of “selling too cheap.” You are not on the market. Employers are quite annoyed by this phrase. He will assume that you do not know what you want, and therefore are not prepared for the interview. Determine in advance the level of wages on the labour market which matches your skills.
