When I checked Weibo recently, I saw a successful comment that attracted the attention of the editor:
This is the "iron law" of being asked that cannot escape an interview. When asked about the expected salary, some of them will not give this number, and sometimes they feel that they are instead. Say less, why not just say how much money this post can give?
In fact, when the interviewer asks this question, it is to measure whether it is in line with the company’s job budget. If the disparity is large, in the first round of interviews, the interviewer will generally report that "the salary we can give may reach Not your expectations", this is also saving time and cost for both parties.
On the one hand, if the salary given by the company is not equal to the expected salary, which is much lower than the job seeker's expectation, and the job seeker agrees, HR will feel that there is instability.
For example, job seekers expect a salary of 1w, and the company can only give 6k, so there is a possibility of short-term liquidity. Job seekers may ride a donkey to find a horse after entering the job. If they leave for a short time, HR needs to re-recruit, not only the workload will increase, The vacancy period will also be lengthened.
On the other hand, companies will also consider job applicants’ self-positioning and understanding of the industry based on expected salary, whether they have a clear understanding of themselves, it is also a price for themselves, measuring their own abilities and experience; HR is acquiring After the expected salary is reached, the interview information will be approved, and further analysis, judgment, and decision will be made according to the company's budget for this position to determine whether the bid is admitted and the salary that can be given.
For job seekers, expressing their expected salary is also to help themselves get the upper limit of the salary budget for this position.
Generally speaking, when it comes to salary, a high probability means that the technical ability is almost up to the standard. The simplest and most direct purpose of asking the expected salary is to know the degree of matching between the job seeker and the company's salary system. If the deviation is not large, it is about the same, and you can consider personal skills.
For example, if the deviation is within 10%, and the gap between various aspects of inspection and ability and the position is not large, the chance of employment is relatively large;
But if the gap is large, even if other aspects are okay, you will be cautious when considering candidates, unless the ability is particularly outstanding, because after all, there will not be only one job seeker.
The nature of most occupations does not have a fixed salary standard. The salary can be determined according to the experience and ability of the job applicant. Of course, this is also related to the performance and skills of the interview.
How should I answer this question?
01 The most important salary talk skills: Don't report lower your expected salary
As everyone knows, when you report your salary, you will generally be discounted. If the other party is sure of you, your offer is higher than estimated, and will negotiate with you; but if the offer is low, it will be difficult to add it up, because if it is not appropriate, the company will not be affected by the low offer. Choose you.
02 There are data and logical answers
Know the average salary level of the industry in advance, take a look at the salary ranges given by similar positions on the major recruitment platforms, and combine the current salary to give a clear standard or bottom line, whether it is the expected salary or the acceptable minimum salary, because If you say range, such as 6k-7K, do you think you can get 6K or 7K.
For example: I look at the recruitment information, the salary of this position is 8K-13K, my current salary is 10k, I hope there will be a 20% increase in this salary.
03Pay attention to the composition of salary
What needs to be clear is whether the salary is pre-tax or after-tax, what benefits constitute the salary, whether it is a fixed salary or with performance, subsidies, bonuses or other benefits, the base and proportion of the five social insurance and one housing fund, and how the year-end bonus is calculated ? What is the salary in a year, whether there is a fixed salary increase cycle, ratio, salary adjustment opportunities, etc., you should know that once you start a job, salary adjustment is more difficult.
Finally, everyone has a correct estimate of their abilities and level, as well as their "value" in the market. This is a two-way choice. It must not be picked up by the company because the monthly salary is one thousand less. A year is also a lot of money, and I can't find a suitable job because of high expectations.
