Tip 1: Arm yourself with salary information.
技巧一：用薪資信息武裝自己。
Before you go to the job interview, spend adequate time conducting research to find out average salaries and salary ranges for similar jobs in your area, industry and geography. Websites for salary research include: salary.com, payscale.com, indeed.com, careeronestop.org, glassdoor.com, and jobsearchintelligence.com.
在參加工作面試之前，預(yù)先做足功課，了解清楚那些與你的工作領(lǐng)域、行業(yè)和地域相似的崗位，薪資的平均數(shù)及上下浮動范圍究竟是多少。在薪酬問題上有助參考的網(wǎng)站包括：salary.com, payscale.com, indeed.com, careeronestop.org, glassdoor.com, and jobsearchintelligence.com。
Tip 2: Deflect the salary question if it’s asked early in the job interview.
技巧二：在面試期間，如果薪資問題被過早的問到，那么要盡量轉(zhuǎn)移話題。
It will do you no good to tell the hiring manager how much you currently make or a desired salary range if you haven’t at least made it to the end of the interview to see if you and the hiring manager believe you’re a good fit. Let her/him know you’d like to better understand the job responsibilities and requirements and how well you meet those needs before discussing the salary topic.
如果在面試結(jié)束之前，還未能了解到你和這位招聘經(jīng)理是否都認(rèn)為你是一個合適的人選，告訴這位招聘經(jīng)理你當(dāng)前的工資水平或者期待的薪資范圍對你沒有任何好處。在討論薪資問題之前，讓他或她知道你希望更多地了解這位工作的職責(zé)和要求以及你將如何滿足這些需求。
Tip 3: Be prepared to provide a salary range.
技巧三：準(zhǔn)備提供一個大致的薪水范圍。
This can be handled in a few different ways. You could provide the salary range you’ve researched, as in, “Based on my research, similar positions in this geography and industry are currently paying between $x and $y. Is this also the range for which you’ve budgeted for this position?” Or, you could share the salary range you desire, such as, “Based on the job requirements we discussed and my knowledge, skills and experience, I would expect the salary range of the position to be between $x and $y.”
這可以通過幾種不同的方式處理。你可以提供你已經(jīng)研究過的薪資范圍，比如說，“根據(jù)我的研究，在這個地域和行業(yè)，類似職位的薪水是在x美元和y美元之間。這也是在您對這個職位的預(yù)算范圍嗎?”或者，你可以分享你期待的薪水范圍，比如，“根據(jù)我們討論的職位要求、我的知識、技能和經(jīng)驗，我期待這份工作的薪水范圍是在x美元和y美元之間。”
Tip 4: Think about how much you’d like to make.
技巧四：想想你希望掙多少錢。
This doesn’t mean sharing an exact number, because it can place you above or below the budgeted salary for the position. Instead, provide a range you’d like to make. “Because I’m changing industries, I’m not expecting to exactly match my previous salary, but, I’d like my pay to be in the range of…”
這并不意味著要公開一個具體的數(shù)字，因為這會讓你要么高出要么低于這個職位的薪酬預(yù)算。相反，提供一個你期望的薪資范圍。“因為是在轉(zhuǎn)行，所以我并不指望拿到與上一份工作完全匹配的薪酬，但是我希望的薪酬范圍是……”
Tip 5: Think through ways to side step the salary question.
技巧五：想好如何規(guī)避有關(guān)薪資的問題。
Remember, the goal is to get the hiring manager to tell you the budgeted salary range for the position before you share any salary information. Try to avoid giving out information by providing answers such as, “My research shows similar positions pay in the range of $x to $y. I’m sure you’ve budgeted a salary range based on competitive data for this industry. What is your budgeted range?” Or, “If I’m the candidate you’d prefer for the position, I’m sure we’ll be able to reach agreement on the salary, as I’m willing to be flexible. What is the budgeted salary range?”
請不要忘記，我們的目標(biāo)是在你公開自己的薪酬信息之前讓招聘經(jīng)理告訴你這份職位的預(yù)算報酬。通過提供以下的回答，盡量避免泄露信息，“我的研究顯示類似職位的薪酬范圍是在x美元和y美元之間。我肯定您已經(jīng)根據(jù)行業(yè)內(nèi)的情況擬定好了具有競爭力的薪酬預(yù)算。您的預(yù)算范圍是什么?”或者，“如果我是貴公司鐘意的候選人，我相信我們將在薪水方面達(dá)成一致，因為我愿意在這方面展示靈活性。貴司薪資預(yù)算范圍是什么?”
Tip 6: Discuss the salary range with the HR rep during the initial screening interview.
技巧六：在初期的篩選面試中與人事代表探討薪資范圍。
You don’t have to wait until you’ve made it to the interview round with the hiring manager. The initial telephone screen with HR is a good time to discuss the position’s pay range to make sure your expectations are within the salary parameters. This also makes the salary discussion with the hiring manager (when it comes up) a lot less stressful.
你不必要等到進入到招聘經(jīng)理面試的那一輪才去討論這個問題。人力資源的首輪電話篩選面試是談?wù)撨@個職位薪資范圍的好時機，從而確保你的預(yù)期在工資參數(shù)之內(nèi)。除此之外，它還可以大大減少在與招聘經(jīng)理討論有關(guān)薪資問題時所承受的壓力。
As my mentee James found out, sometimes honesty isn’t always the best policy. When it comes to discussing salary during job interviews, avoid sharing with the hiring manager what you currently make. Focus instead on getting them to share the salary range they’re willing to pay. This isn’t always easy and you’ll need to be professional and respectful in your approach; however, it will help you walk away much closer to your desired salary.
正如我的學(xué)員詹姆斯指出的，有時候誠實并非總是最好的策略。當(dāng)在面試期間談到薪資的時候，避免與招聘經(jīng)理討論你當(dāng)前的薪資。相反，將精力集中在讓他們公開他們愿意支付的薪資范圍。這并不是那么容易，你需要在你的方法中體現(xiàn)出專業(yè)和尊重;不過，它可以幫助你更接近你期待的薪資。
