Setting the Stage
Before you even step into the virtual interview, preparation is key. Research the company thoroughly, and understand your worth. Think of it like prepping
for a cricket match – you wouldn't go in without knowing the pitch, would you? Solid prep builds confidence and sets you up for success.
Value Your Worth
It’s time to showcase your skills! Be confident in your abilities. Highlight your achievements and quantify your contributions. Just like Bollywood actors, sometimes you need to know your worth and get the right price. Remember your unique selling points and what you bring to the table.
Salary Discussions Basics
The salary discussion is a crucial part. Before the interview, research industry standards for similar roles. Be prepared with a salary range, understanding that the lower end is your minimum. Always frame your expectations, much like bargaining at a local market: start high, and be ready to negotiate.
The Art of Negotiation
During the salary talk, be open and assertive. Listen carefully to the offer. Be comfortable with a pause after the offer is presented to you. This can give you time to think and respond. Ask for time to consider the offer and avoid making rash decisions. Just like in a Bollywood drama, build the suspense.
Sealing the Deal
If the offer is satisfactory, express your enthusiasm. Review all the details - salary, benefits, etc. If the offer doesn't quite meet your expectations, negotiate smartly. Remember: good negotiations lead to a win-win situation. Just as you would get the best deal in a shop.
