| Guys, I will be attending an interview this week, it would appear to be a formality, although Im not taking anything for granted. The salary is negotiable. Ive never been in this situation before. Is it a case they will say "this is your salary" based on your experience or will I be asked "is this salary acceptable"? Really what Im asking is, will there be a back and forth of salaries. Sounds silly when I read it but Ive never done it before! Thanks, Jumpa

| Gary, first of all...congrats on getting the position in Tescos Quote:
If you have already worked in industry they tend to ask you what you were on previously and then state what they're offering.... |

| Its with a company I was placed with and they want me back for a vacancy that has opened in the same area. So they know my skills/experience and previous pay. TBH I cant believe I got back into Tescos. Especially being a graduate, I thought they would be hoping to attract more senior employees. Boss told me if I make the right moves ill be in his seat soon.....on the tills that is. |

| getting a call back after you've already worked for the company is a good sign. we (Web design Internet development, Ireland - email marketing, content management systems, email response systems) sometimes have people in for work experience. Apart from my own hiring, only one other person has ever been asked to take a permanent position here based on that, as in the time he was working as a temp here, he proved that he could handle the work. (that's not a hint to potential temps not to come to us - if you can handle what we do, then you will do well here) as for "negotiable"... who knows! |

| hmm... I agree with the person who suggested that Michele turn off the plugin which replaces URLs with the target page's title... |

| Off topic, I have mixed feelings about the title in the link. 90% its a lot cleaner than the the link itself, but occassionally the title is far too long. On topic, thanks for the tips. |

| I've been to interviews where they asked if their offered salary was acceptable and I said "No, I am expecting x amount". I thought I'd call their bluff. They never called back and that was my third interview. I really made a bad call on that one. I was young and foolish then though. |
