Most of what dreamer wrote make sense to me, but not to more than 90% job seeker out there. You can play hard ball, only if you damn sure that you're good at your job.

I take some of his tips from this thread and I get good salary for my latest interview. Thanks for dreamer and the other contributors.

good in the job and be different from others will win the race. failing in interview is one thing but how many people actually access their failure by calling the interviewer and find out what makes them to choose other candidate. Try to call them out and ask them more questions that you can't see and you can improve on that weakness. Ask what that candidate have and you don't have? Sometimes, they feel you are too good and their budget go for another guy. It's a good news right? wrong?
figure that out.

That's a good news in a wrong way.

For example, I attended one interview when I was just graduated. At the end of the interview, I asked the interviewer what his opinion about me. He said that I'm the best candidate he's ever interviewed. But you know what? I didn't get the job for two reasons. First, I'm not an IT graduate. Secondly, he thinks I'm too good for that customer service job.

Of course I'm upset for that failure, but in the hindsight, I think he saves my career life.

Some people think that dreamer is only BSing. But after applying the negotiation skill myself, I trust his judgment.

The company have their own salary range for any advertised job. The most important point for you to do is to get that range. Most of the time, the hiring manager will blurt it out if you asked.

Folks,

Let me teach you one more thing.

Learn to say PLEASE and THANK YOU a lot more....

I had posted a few thousands posts across many years in lowyat.  Many posts were useful.  Only less than 10 people  thank me.  But, I get beat up a lot more for my BLUNTNESS and HONESTY. 

Now, if you want an answer why people are LESS HELPFUL every where and you have GOT an answer.  Why should they help?? If they do wrong, they got beat up.  If they do right, they get NO THANKS in 99.9% of the cases....

I believe that for you, trust is better than gratitude, right?

ReginaJune,

A) It is PRIVATE and CONFIDENTIAL

B) Ask the interviewer what is the Salary Range of the job.  They have a BUDGET.  They know how much they are going to pay.  That is IRRELEVANT to yoru previous pay.

YOUR GOAL in Salary Negotiation is to get the Employer to give you the number FIRST.  If you succeed in that, you WIN...

Hi dreamer,

What if their range is lower than our expected salary?

Thanks.
