Hi, ladies!
I really need some help here coz I am totally blur about this aspect of job-hunting.
I just received a call from a potential employer and he told me the job is a contract position with good potential for converting to perm. I did not know that when I applied for it. I mentioned I will prefer a permanent position and would not mind if he gives the opportunity to others who are more interested. (Should not have been honest in retrospeck, hope I did not come across as disinterested.
)
Then he said, for contract position, you can bargain for your salary which is a plus point. *awkward pause in which I "oh really?"*
I am so clueless.
He sounded sincere and told me the HR will contact me even after I said I have other interviews pending and they look quite promising. I am not trying to "bargain" here, just have a vague feeling I should not waste their time interviewing me.
I am not sure if they will really contact me after that, but if they do, any ladies can share experiences in negotiating for salaries? How's it done and how do you decide what to accept? This would be my first perm job so I have no last-drawn salary and I am not looking for big bucks. Enough to keep me in mu will do!
