stand by what you believe is right cos its your right for expected salary. if they dun offer the % increase then their loss.

wat i thk is that the company dont wanna hear XX%
wat they wanna hear is the amount gua?

just tell them how much u wan in RM, kan senang..

very easy u pay how much i work how much...
ok....hahaha...

dude.. i would ask you the same thing.. stay simple and stay sincere. Don't think your way is a good way to negotiate IMHO

Throw the question back i.e. "How much can you offer me than? and let me consider." But to do that, obviously one must be confident of his/her talents and experience.

thats bad advice for a guy who states his expected sal in percentage, dont u think?

Hello guys,

I would like to know if a company actually calls me for an interview and it happens that I have something on and could not make it, is it a good idea to tell them that I have to re-schedule?

Will this give a bad impression to them?

In %? I would normally put in a figure in RM.

First of all, apologize and said that you have something very urgent to attend to and that you would love to reschedule the date. Let the other party propose a date/ time and make sure this time you can attend with no prob

Rescheduling with a valid reason will not give a bad impression. There are times when certain issues are urgent and last min. If the company is understanding, they will be willing to meet you at another date.

hi pump2 so long no c u spam here?

I think ur issue is not whether u mention in % or RM, but wen u ask for any amount, it seems very high for the HR ppl. I gues HR is trying to reduce the cost for the company.

Anyway, i did always faced the same issue and honestly i still couldn't come up with any good answer.

Whatever amount i say, the HR will always reply that's too high. then wen i ask what is their budget / reasonable amount, their answer is either:

1. the same amount as my current (no increase), as it shows that's what my current company values me;
2. that their budget is in fact lower than my current salary, but they r willing to match my current salary; or
3. a mere 5%, and they presume i shd be happy with that.

Any suggestions pls, especially from HR experience ppl would be great.

Thank you, much appreciated.

if its stated under consideration on jobstreet for a job i applied for, is it a sure thing that i will get called for an interview?

No.

oh

hai there i m new here

Went for an interview today, my first formal interview. Pretty much f***ed the tell me about yourself part.

Guys, what do you normally say when they ask you such a question? I just told them about the education and a little bit of my skills, ability to work under pressure stuff.

I actually know what to say at first, but I panicked when he asked it. Then I went gagap for a while. Crap.

C'mon, didn't sound like you screw up. You just panicked and got really nervous.

Well yes, tell them about your edu - school, uni, extra curricular activities, perhaps about your family - number of siblings, internship (if any) etc. I hardly talk about my skills unless they ask me. Generally my introduction finish in about 1-2min I find there isn't much to talk about!

What I really dislike answering is when they ask: What's your strengths and weaknesses?

"tell me about yourself"

just give a general overview of ur characteristic like outgoing, cheery or such... can adapt well to new things, all that textbook answers. its a formality and interviewer also probably not listen to what u say but how u say it.

How about the following type of questions:

What's your definition of success?

What is your success factor?

WHat's your objective or you wish to achieve in 3 years, 5 years and 7 years?

All 3 above actually is pretty similar questions, but all 3 give me a stunned most of the times.
