Hi, not knowing where to post my question but i think this thread should be the most suitable one.

Let's say, your current pay is RM4K, you're expecting to change a new job and wish to get RM6k. Now you are attending an interview, during the interview, the employer asks you what's your latest pay, would you tell him RM4K? Or you will tell him RM7k as let him deduct RM1k to be RM6k, which is your expected salary.

Kindly share your opinions.

2 things likely to happen if u tell them ur current sal is 7K:

1) they nego wif u and u get 6K.

2) they ask u to proof ur salary is 7k.

I leave it to u to think about which is more likely to happen.

But i thought salary slip is P&C, non-employer has no rights to view it?

Yes, it is P&C for you, and your right to let them know or not.

Many HR will require ur previose payslip to verify ur claims of what you currently earn.

Of course, there are exceptions, especially for high end job where it go by ur track record.

What i try to say is, if they ask and u duwan to show, might affect ur chances.


Added on April 24, 2009, 10:04 amof course the hiring manager is no fool also.
esp if ur ex company is MNC an ur level is executive, i will be somewhat skeptical if u tell me u earns 8K. cos many company have salary banding.

Hi guys,

Nowadays, wearing tie to a interview is optional or it has become a necessity?

Mistakes Made During the Interview:
1. This happened during my interview with a semiconductor company based outside of KL. They asked if I applied to other companies based in KL and they asked if I were offered a job in KL would I take it. Being my first interview and being naive and honest, I said yes. Thanks to that I didn't get the job.

so i should answer no if they ask if i were applying for other company?

I doubt that was the reason u dint get job.

Watever u do, when u are at an interview, act as though this is the only job left in the world.

when u get offer letter baru decide tongue.gif

If u are a fresh graduate, look for some company that u can learn. A good company culture is really hard to come by where no one plays politics. Some companies put u under a team leader. Communication skills is really important. If let's say there is a company outing organized by the team, better make the effort to join in

Wait till u guys meet the few unorthodox interviewers, all those tell me about urself can just flush down the toilet. I give u a real tip, just tell wat u can offer the company outright straight. Do ur research well about the company first.

Some straight to the point interviewers even ask u outright, if i hire u can u complete the job, when u say yes, u better mean it for real, u say u don't have this skill that skill and try saying u will learn some will just shut the door straight.

if u r currently employed, wat is ur notice period?

in any case, no confirmation letter no deal (for me). i cant risk losing my current job for one that is not confirm.

in fact some (less common) cases the company can retract their offer letter (bad luck!)

Procedure of Confirmation.

1. End of probationary period, assessment/appraisal will be given...there yu have it, your confirmation letter. (Basis varies in accordance to...)

2. Once decided, yu may go for the work. Wait, Ask, Wait for the Letter of Appointment. (Basis varies in accordance to...)

Regards, Joey

p.s: Your question is ambiguous and it doesn't reflect upon your following query.

Depending on what job yu wish to do. Do yu think working as a fishmonger requires a fine formal attire+tie? Yu do the thinking.

It's not copy and paste, yu nincompoop!

If it could not be attained, yu can come up with, contingency plans, diversification of planning, and if yu are in the managerial position, this would be a testing ground for the interviewer to test your capability to act in such situation.

we ask that crap all the time, its just part of our script/procedure.

u are missing the point, u are telling them "i wish to continue to be able to be of value to u in 5 yrs time"

if they ask u back "what if u cannot achieve, we terminate u?"
then u should answer them in a way u see fit, but not arrogant or rude.

"i am confident that i can achieve them. in the event of no achievement, i shall consult the management on how to remedy the situation"

joey is rite. if cannot achieve, do contingency. not resign/terminate. pariah question from interviewer during interview goes to show wat type of company they are, havent hire u alredi wanna fire u.
