The Essentials Of Salary Negotiations And Employment Opportunity Screening

By Marie Allen


Many people are faced by the challenge of unemployment globally. The rates of unemployment in the world have skyrocketed in the recent years with the youth being the most affected by this challenge. This has created a lot of competition for the available employment slots that exist with people willing to do anything to acquire these slots. This has in turn brought about vices in the society like corruption and blackmailing of job seekers to get the positions. It is therefore important to contemplate on the genuineness of a job offer. This publication will look at deliberations to make in job offer evaluation, including salary negotiations.

Researching about the prospective employer should always be the first step to take in assessing a job opportunity. People should take time to research about the company offering the employment opportunity to determine whether the company is genuine and fit for them. The best place to acquire knowledge about a company is in the social media, the stock exchange markets and the company's official website.

Salary offered by the employer. Financial freedom is everyone's aspiration and the reason why people look for sustainable jobs with good salaries. Therefore, the salary associated with an employment opening should guide a person whether to apply or not apply for the advertised position. The salary paid by the employer should match the skills the employee will give in the position if hired.

Another major consideration people should make in evaluating an employment opportunity is benefits accrued from the employment. People should consider other benefits that come with the employment opportunity like retirement benefits, pension, insurance, incentives among other benefits. These benefits should be well articulated in the offer letter issued to the employees hired.

It is important to consider additional costs involved with the new engagement opportunity. New employment opportunities may come with hidden additional costs that may alter savings plan by adding on expenses incurred. Transport may come with hidden additional cost that may increase the expenses incurred by people. When a person has to relocate, additional costs are incurred in relocating and settling in the new location.

Work load associated with the new employment should also be an important consideration to make. People should ensure that they understand the amount of work load associated with the employment opportunity. This will help a person understand what is required of them if employed. This will also help people in guessing the amount of their time the new job will take beyond normal working hours.

Career path associated with an opportunity should be an important deliberation while assessing an employment opportunity. Understanding the career path of an advertised position is very important for individuals seeking employment. Applying for an employment opportunity within an individual's career path builds on specialization. Therefore, it is important for individuals to take time to research on the career path of an advertised position.

While assessing such an opportunity, it is important to consider the values of the employer. As job seeker, ensure to compare your personal values against those of the potential employer and ascertain whether they are compatible. If they are not, then their relationship may not work at all.
