Default Salary negotiation

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

From my own expierence this is what happens.
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!

I'm not sure I think it's a good idea.

Ye , but that only work if you don't write a quick reply. There must be some sort of master control for that.

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.
