Only one candidate will come out of the job interview a winner, and it's not necessarily the most experienced one. If you prepare and do your homework, it will be you.

How To Talk About Money During The Hiring Process

How To Talk About Money During The Hiring Process | 212 Careers | Scoop.it

If you need inspiration to ask the salary question, just think about a plumber.


The plumber isn’t going to come over and walk around looking at the work that a homeowner needs done without talking about money. Eventually the plumber is going to say “You’re looking at about ten thousand dollars worth of work” or the homeowner is going to say “How much is this going to cost me?”


They’re not going to dance around the topic and hope for the best. Only job-seekers do that, and only a certain kind of job-seeker.

A different take on an important topic!

You can’t keep going on interviews with no idea of what an employer is planning to pay you if you get the job. You have to bring up the topic of salary.

But sometimes i feel little embarrass by asking that question :(
B Goburn Smith's curator insight, September 16, 2014 10:22 AM

Yes salary is important, however, use a little common sense and diplomacy.  Hopefully the hiring manager will broach the subject first.  Bring up salary when it appears the company is seriously interested in you. Above all do your "homework" and research the industry salary standards, the company's salary ranges and your point of entry.
