Cynopsis: Classified Advantage
11/13/12
Good morning. It’s Tuesday, November 13, 2012, and this is your weekly issue of Cynopsis: Classified Advantage!
I recently had a friend ask me about an old co-worker, “Is she smart?” My first instinct was to say yes of course she is smart, but then I started to think about the question itself.
Jess (former colleague) certainly isn’t dumb. She did her job very well, though she, like myself, wasn’t going to be considered as the next CEO. I never heard anyone complain about her, but is that enough to say that she is smart? Maybe I’m the one who isn’t smart, in which case, who cares what I think anyway.
More troublesome was the question itself, “Is she smart?” There are all kinds of smart; a musical prodigy is considered brilliant but if they cannot balance a check book are they still considered smart? Even in business, there are all kinds of intelligences, which one did my friend mean?
Perhaps my friend asked the wrong question, what did he really want to know?
The job in question takes some training but nothing that Jess can’t master quickly. The more I thought about it, the more convinced I was that my friend did in fact, ask the wrong question. He didn’t want to know if Jess was smart, he wanted to know if she was happy.
Being happy takes a certain kind of intelligence too. Being happy makes a person easier to work with, better with clients and raises the morale of all those around her. All of which translates into a better business.
My friend got an unqualified yes about Jess for his answer. She is smart and happy, therefore a great candidate.
What question will you ask next time?

Contact VP of Sales & Mktg: Mike Farina | 203.218.6480In today’s job market, many people feel they should simply be thankful to have a job offer on the table. In addition, negotiating compensation can be uncomfortable for some people. However, by just accepting a job offer as is, you may be selling yourself short and leaving money on the table. Once a company has decided to fill a position, they typically want the best candidate possible and are often willing to pay for it.
The reality is that many initial job offers are lower than what the company can afford to pay for the position. The reason is they want to make sure if the candidate comes back with a counter-offer, they have room to negotiate. For this reason, if you simply accept the first offer as is, you’re often leaving money on the table. Following are tips so you CAN negotiate your compensation, when you get your next job offer:
Now what you’re worth. There are a variety of salary websites online that can help you find average salaries for your position and years of experience, in your area. Also, peruse job postings and see the salary range they have listed for similar positions. Then, really evaluate your personal experience. Do you have unique skills and experience that dictate a higher than average salary or slightly less than average.
Remember, compensation is not all about salary. Although the dollar amount in your weekly paycheck is important, there are numerous other areas where companies may have more flexibility. Vacation time, profit sharing, commissions, performance bonuses, and perks like company vehicles or paid fitness memberships can all add to the overall compensation package.
Have an idea of what the offer will be, before it is offered. The discussion of salary should not happen for the first time when the hiring manager passes you the job offer letter. Your salary requirements should have been discussed in the interview process. If the position does not warrant the salary you truly desire, talk about upgrading the position to a higher level position that would come with a more agreeable compensation package.
Don’t use one offer against another to bump a compensation package up. If you’re lucky enough to have two job offers in hand, but want to work for the company with the lower offer, do not try to use the other offer as leverage. As tempting as it may be, this is typically considered bad form and may indicate to the employer that you’re just concerned about money and not the job or company itself, when making your decision. This may lead them to believe that should another company make you an even bigger offer, you’d easily jump ship. Instead, use that knowledge to know what your worth is in the marketplace, negotiate with the company, and then make your decision on all of the factors surrounding both positions not just the salary.
Be a team player. When negotiating compensation make certain your phrasing isn’t centered on just you and what you want, but rather that you’re working with the hiring manager to come to a mutually satisfying agreement. Express the value you’ll be bringing to the company and back it up with past results that you are certain you can repeat for them. If possible, quantify these results such as a percentage under budget for a project or an increase in revenues.
Joel Garfinkle’s proven 10-Step Salary Negotiation Program teaches salary negotiation strategies to help you get the pay, benefits and perks that you deserve. See why hundreds of clients have benefitted from Joel’s program. If you are asking for a raise or negotiating a higher salary, order Get Paid What You’re Worth.
What are the most important things to remember in the interview?
There are several important things to remember in the interview process. First and foremost, you should always be enthusiastic about the position and the company. Hiring managers want employees that are excited about the opportunity they have available.
You should also focus your answers to highlight the skills and experience that best fit the job description the employer provided and the interviewer has indicated are important for the position. Your goal in the interview is to explain why you are the best candidate for the position. The more your answers reflect qualities the interviewer desires, the more likely you’ll be the candidate that receives the offer.
When should I ask about the benefits of a job?
Because employee benefits can be such a large portion of your compensation package, it’s important to understand what those will be, before you accept an offer. However, like salary, this should not be a question asked during the interview. Your interest, during the interview, should be about the position and the company. Asking how many weeks of vacation you will get during the interview makes it look like you’ve placed a greater importance on the benefits than the opportunity.
This doesn’t mean an interviewer won’t share the benefits the company offers with you. If they don’t, ask about the company benefits when you are presented an offer. Many offers will have the benefits clearly spelled out and include information on health insurance premiums and coverage, as well as vacation time, number of paid holidays, and more. However, if these are not given to you, ask to get them in writing before you sign the offer letter.
