lol i usually odnt bother companies who awre not willing to pay my expected salary.
my salary that i demand is market standard and i make sure that i am able to do those task list. if they cant afford to pay me then they dont deserve me.

i usually ask for 100 below the standard. if mnc then higher offcourse but normally i mentain rm 100 lower to reduce negotiation as i hate that part of the whole employing process.

If they cant afford to pay me then i will look elsewhere.
but offcourse always make sure that your asking salary is within logical limits lah. Dont put 2-3 k for jobs like those in jaya jusco and such.

yes its acceptable
but then usually mnc's pay that much. target mnc's.
Usually u can put 1.8-2k which sounds just about right for a fresh grad.
good luck
