Let’s face it, when we graduate from college, we are filled with aspirations of getting salary packages that can allow us to live a comfortable life. However there are a few things you should be particular about in terms of the job profile as well. If you are getting the profile you want, the following are the things you should work on in order to get the desired package.
Do a thorough research: It is essential that you speak to people, understand what the industry standard is and depending on your experience understand how much you should ask for.
Be patient: In order to convince the employer that you are worth what you are asking for, you have to convince them that you will add value to the organization. Try and avoid discussing your salary during the initial stages of the recruitment process. Once you have proved your worth, then discuss the salary.
Don’t lie: If you have prior work experience, do not lie about the salary you drew from the previous organization. You may be capable, but if you lie and if you get caught, you may jeopardize your career.
Wait: It is advisable that you lay hard to get if you are not getting the offer you want or one that meets industry standards. Do not accept the first offer, in an objective manner let the prospective employers know that you want more.
Benefits: Do not focus only the take home, make sure your CTC or Cost to Company includes certain benefits as well. Allowances like HRA and medical assistance can help you lead a good life.
