A former recruiter and career coach from the US has revealed how you can maximise your salary at a new job.<\/p>\n
When the dreaded interview question of what your salary expectation is comes up, it’s easy to panic or play down what you’re worth – often meaning you opt for a lower number than you’re perhaps happy with.<\/p>\n
However, expert Greg Langstaff\u00a0(@greglangstaff) says this is exactly what you should avoid doing.<\/p>\n
He regularly makes TikToks with handy tips and tricks for jobseekers, including resume and interview advice.<\/p>\n
The career expert’s recent video on how to get the best salary possible has been seen by 178,000 people.<\/p>\n

A career coach from the US has revealed how you can maximise your salary at a new job<\/p>\n
He told viewers ‘To maximise your salary at a new job, you’re going to want to avoid answering the question ‘what are your salary expectations?’ for as long as possible.<\/p>\n
‘This will prevent the employer from low balling you but also protect you from getting disqualified in case what you ask for is too high.’<\/p>\n
He advised what you should do instead, writing: ‘So if they ask, you’ll say something like this: ‘I’m flexible, I’m just looking for a fair package that aligns with industry standards.’<\/p>\n
Adding ‘Then if they’re weird about it and they tell you they need a specific number, you can kind of turn the table by saying something like this:<\/p>\n
‘Is there a specific range you’re aiming for so I can let you know if I’m comfortable with that?’<\/p>\n
He further explained in the caption: ‘The longer you wait to talk salary during an interview process, the more they\u2019ll be invested in you as a candidate and this gives great negotiating power!’<\/p>\n
However, while some people say this tactic works for them, others have argued against it.<\/p>\n
One viewer wrote ‘I frequently sideline candidates that get difficult and start turning the tables’.<\/p>\n

Another added ‘Nah! Always ask their salary range up front. Wasted too much time doing interviews when they couldn’t even afford me in the first place.’<\/p>\n
Those who thought it was good advice said ‘Thank you. If they\u2019re weird about it sometimes that’s a red flag they\u2019re just using candidates to see what the market rate is’ and ‘at is working for me. In the process and they asked, I said, based on market I’d like anywhere between 115-$135k, they’re offering $135k’.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, someone else commented ‘no. do your research. know the market value for your job. and just tell them straight up what you want.’<\/p>\n
It comes after a careers expert revealed the six questions you should never ask at the end of the interview – including if the salary is negotiable.<\/p>\n
They also advised that you shouldn’t ask abrupt questions like ‘Why should I work for you?’ and ‘What can your company offer me?’\u00a0<\/p>\n
