11 am Zoom interview. 25 years old, only 18 months work experience.
It was me, my sales manager since he is hiring, and the Candidate(jobless for 10 months)
The position is Junior sales technician.

After a brief introduction, SM stated the offer RM 2950 + com and allowance. here goes the heat

Candidate: Excuse me? I thought you advertised salary from 2400-3200. Why not 3200?
S.M.: We are evaluating based on work experience, you do not have any experience in the technical engineering industry. Though you have experience in sales talk we want to give you the high side salary of the range we advertised
Candidate: What High side? This is very misleading, I can report you, you know.
S.M.: Ha ha, I think you need to understand the situation here.
Candidate: There is no situation, you advertised the salary, I should be expecting 3200.
S.M.: ...
Candidate: I work grab driver even better salary than you dumb company. Good luck.

End Zoom.

For me, during my first interview i didnt even mention salary. In the interview i straight said the company current problem and how i can help them solve the problem, even went ahead and create a proposal for the company. My current boss like it so much during second interview even call ceo listen to my proposal. In the end i got the salary i wanted and will raise after 3 month if my performance is good. IMO, candidate during interview should propose how they can help the company solve their problem, not wait interviewer ask u question. Becuz in the end, your job should be the one who help the company solve problem, not create problem for the company.

How u find out the company problem? If u research online, i doubt the company will speak it out loud and put everything online…
