Cynopsis: Classified Advantage
09/11/12

Good morning.  It’s Tuesday, September 11, 2012, and this is your weekly issue of Cynopsis: Classified Advantage!

Interviews

No, not your interviews, their interviews.

Who are they? The CEO, the CFO, the COO, anyone who is important enough at a company to be interviewed about it.

When you are applying for a job at a company, find all the important players and look for interviews they have given, the more recent the better.

These interviews will tell you more about a company’s culture and strategy then almost any other source. Plus interviews are fluid, they are recent, they will often explain details about the company in a much more comprehensive and interesting manner than what someone has written.

The same question to the same person asked by different people just months apart may result in a markedly different answer, which will provide you with a greater insight into the company’s current direction.

Other information you can pull from viewing the interviews; what industry jargon is commonly used, what products or strategies are they placing an emphasis on, how do the people at the company dress, and perhaps most importantly, what are they not talking about.

All this information will help you assimilate to the company before walking into their building. Along with reading and understanding the company’s annual report, the interviews can provide you with intangibles unavailable anywhere else.

We are always on the look out for more Experts to advise our readers – if you’re a headhunter, job coach, career advisor, etc., and may be interested in contributing to this edition from time to time, please contact me at [email protected].

~ACTIONABLE EXPERT ADVICE~
Five Tips for Salary Negotiation for the Initial Offer
by Joel Garfinkle

You’ve likely survived through several rounds of interviews and have come to know the company, some of the key players and the open position more intimately. Your phone rings and the company wants to extend you an offer to come join their team. That’s great news! However, the job hunt process isn’t over quite yet. Following are five tips when moving into the salary negotiation for the initial offer stage.

1.  Take your time. When you receive the initial offer, don’t immediately react to it. Take some time to really consider the position, the company and the offer. Hiring managers won’t typically expect you to sign the offer the moment it’s presented. Depending on the urgency of the position, they will usually give you between 24 and 72 hours to make a decision. This not only gives you time to evaluate the offer fully, but also discuss it with family members. However, the company does not want to give you too much time. If you’re not going to accept the offer, they need to know, so they can either move to their second choice candidate or continue the interview process.

2.  To negotiate or not negotiate, that is the question. Once you have the offer in hand, decide whether or not it is an offer that you feel should be negotiated. If you and the company are miles apart on numbers, likely no amount of negotiating will close the gap. Hopefully, you and the company have determined your mutual expected salary ranges during the interview process and this won’t be an issue. Another reason you may not want to negotiate an offer is if you feel the offer is fair and you want the position. Not every company low balls candidates on the initial offer. In fact, a company that understands hiring the best candidates and developing a mutually rewarding relationship begins with that first offer.

3.  Develop a well-supported counter offer. If you’ve decided that you’d like the position, however you’d like the company to increase the offer, make sure your counter offer is well-supported. Reiterate the unique experience, knowledge and education you have, as well as past results, that will be especially beneficial to the company and that will justify the increase in the offer. If the position will mean relocation, clearly present cost-of-living changes that warrant a higher salary. An employer will respect a candidate that thoughtfully puts together a well-supported counter offer that justifies their offer.

4.  Strive for a win-win situation. If you and the company are close to coming to an agreement, but there’s still a small difference in your numbers, strive for a win-win situation. A 90-day review and raise to a predetermined salary, that is agreeable to you, allows the company the assurance that you will perform and deserve that increase, while giving you time to come up to speed with your new organization. This allows you to obtain the salary figure with which you’re comfortable, within a reasonable amount of time.

5.  Don’t forget about the non-salary parts of the offer. Although the salary is often the facet of an initial offer that stands out for most candidates, don’t forget about the non-salary parts of the offer. Vacation time, paid holidays, 401(k) contributions, bonuses, insurance, and other perks are often things that can transform a good offer into a great offer. As with negotiating the salary component of the offer, be sure to justify why you deserve a bump in benefits.

~ASK THE EXPERTS~
Questions from our Readers
Answered by
Joel Garfinkle

As a gift, I received a very expensive and very nice bag (briefcase). Might an interviewer look at this bag and decide if I can afford this bag, I cannot, that I really don’t need this job? Should I buy a cheaper one for interviews?

Unless you’re interviewing for a position within the fashion industry, you’d be better off leaving that very expensive bag at home for the interview. You do not want the interviewer to pre-judge you based on any visual cues, including an expensive bag, watch, or shoes. You are right. If you walk into the interview with a bag someone in your position could not typically afford, the interviewer may decide right then and there that you will not be happy with what they could offer and begin to write you off as a potential candidate.

The best rule of thumb for dressing, and accessorizing, for a job interview is to dress one step above how you’d dress if you actually worked for the company. This shows a level of respect for the company and that you are serious about the position. If jeans are acceptable work wear, go for business casual with khakis and a polo or button down shirt. If business casual is the norm for the company you are applying to, wear a suit. If it’s a suit and tie environment, be sure you don’t forget the accessories such as cuff links, a tie clip and a handkerchief square that complements your tie.

If I was making about $175,000 annual salary prior to being laid off, and have been out of work for ten months, what salary range should I be shooting for? Is there some kind of equation that demonstrates the amount of time you’ve been out of work to the drop in salary you need to take?

To negotiate a higher starting salary you must clearly communicate the value you’ll bring to the company. First, it’s important to understand the length of your job search is affected by so many factors  the economy, the demand for your particular skills, the vitality of your industry, and more. Although the figure that a job search takes approximately 1 month for each $10,000 in salary is unsubstantiated, it does illustrate a general point that higher salaried positions are often less numerous than lower salaried positions, which may result in a longer job search process. However, there is no magic sliding scale that adjusts salary based on the length of your job search.

Instead, look at the prevailing market conditions. For instance, if you’re seeing positions that seem to be a good fit for your area of expertise and experience, but the salary range is $125,000 to $150,000, then you may need to adjust your salary expectations. The same is true if you’re getting offers for lower salaries, then the market conditions may simply be such that your position is not currently worth $175,000. In your new position, demonstrate how valuable your skills are to your new employer, and I’m sure you’ll work your way back to your previous salary and beyond.
