So i got this interview with a waste management company coming up tomorrow and i'd really use help on how to go about answering the question "how much do you expect/how much should we pay you" whichever way it comes.

The Advert stated that the salary is attractive and negotiable, which obviously means I'll at least have a say in how much I'll be earning, but the problem is i don't wanna offer cheap labour nor do i want to give the impression that I'm one greedy job seeker (which i probably am )
Applied for the post of an Environmental Services Supervisor.
Thanks Guys

various answers like, I will go with company policy, pay me base on my productivity has been turned down at several points. as for me, I don't give any specific amount or a range, I usually give my own minimum acceptable salary. this is after I have put my expenses into consideration and made enquiries before the interview then I will go further to tell them that I will ensure that where the company happens to pay that amount, it will have no regret but rather be encouraged to pay more for my outstanding service.
so, if the company goes by my minimum acceptable salary and I later finds out that the company pays more that that, it will be easy for me to put in later demanding for salary increase as early as one month into the job but just be sure you can deliver on your job. remember, delivering on your job doesn't just mean doing well on what you are asked to do, it includes helping your boss meet up his own deadlines, acting like a manager by taking care of things around you as well as other staffs.

This was the same question they asked me when I went for Shell interview. For a starter a felt above 150k wasn't a bad idea and I said above 150k. When I was eventually given the job my startup and basic salary became 185k plus transport allowance and some other allowances.

just tell dem dat u biliv ders a salary structure for all employees in that company or organization, and you will wanna go with it cos that question could be a trap but if u are not satisfied or the question persists, u can now give ur own salary range.

Tell them your mind.

as your father, let me advice you. tell them to pay you something affordable and acceptable. thank me later 08063841165 ;Das your father, let me advice you. tell them to pay you something affordable and acceptable. thank me later 08063841165

Oga tell them you want 150k and above. If they cannot pay it, they 'll tell you how much they can afford. It's a simple question. Don't go and be forming smart using a question to answer a question. Go straight to the point so they know you are there for serious business. After all there are a lot health risk in the job and they already stated that salary is attractive and negotiate. In fact tell them 200k.

Tell them you don't do this for the money...You do it so the industry will know your name.. The hottest chick in the firm will do. Trust ur ability and skillz

NaLaugh:
As a general rule of thumb, never sell yourself short.

However, you have to walk a fine line with that.

You don't want to undersell yourself and end up unsatisfied, or overvalue yourself and lose the opportunity.

All the best.

Hmmm that's a good one. He should now use his initiative.

My advice ,as a graduate stake value on yourself mention 120k and above ,remember they will surely negotiate it down,ur best bet is to mention the amount that after negotiation it will be good for you, and check if the company has a prospect accept the offer.

what if someone has HND can he say up to that amount?

A safe reply would be something like this

" I believe in the commitment of this organisation to the welfare of it's staff. I have no doubt in my mind that the company would adequately reward the great efforts that I will put into my job performance.
As I strive daily to achieve my set Objectives on the job, I trust completely that the organisation will live up to its financial and welfare obligations to me.
I will put in the best effort and I want to leave it to the organisation to use it's discretion in rewarding my best efforts."

tell dem to pay u according to their salary range for ur position
