Pronunciation Practice That Works

In telephone screening interviews, it’s common for hiring managers to ask candidates for their salary expectations. Why do they ask this question? 

They want to make sure your salary expectations align with the amount they have budgeted for the job. The hiring manager is also testing you to see if you know and will ask for what you’re worth. 

While hiring managers have good reasons for asking this question upfront, it's tricky to answer it at the beginning of the job interview process. Consider that a salary is only one component of an overall benefits package. 

Yet, if you give a higher range than the company has set, they will eliminate you, and the company will never find out if you would have been worth paying a higher salary. So this question poses a real problem. 

You have to convince the employer to ask you this question later in the recruitment process or provide a well-informed range that doesn't get you eliminated from the candidate pool. By the time you are a top candidate, employers will be far more willing to give you the salary you want and deserve. 

In this episode, you will learn where to research an appropriate salary range for your role. You’ll also get three strategies for answering the question with sample responses.

By the end of the episode, you will be prepared to talk confidently about your salary expectations.

*****************************************************
「今日の一針明日十針」ということわざがありますが、今年もまた私はやってしまいました。
このことわざは、今日しておけば簡単にできることも、明日になればしなければならないことが増えるという意味です。
みなさんは、しなければならないことを　後回しにしていませんか。
私は、1日どころか、1年もほったらかしにしてしまいました。
そう！確定申告です。　納める税金の金額を決めるために、1年間働いて得た金額を書類にして税務署に出すのです。　働く日本人全員がするわけではありませんが、私のように個人で働いている人は、確定申告をしなければなりません。
毎年です。そして、毎年　この時期、後悔しています。
というのは、帳簿を小まめにつけていないので、1年分のお金の出入りを　一気に整理しなくてはいけないのです。　本当なら、1か月単位で　きちんと整理して　お金の動きを管理すべきなんです。　だけど、まったくそれができていません。
買い物のレシートや領収書は捨てないで、ちゃんと置いています。ですから、帳簿をつけることはできます。でも、1年分ためてしまうと、レシートの量もものすごく多いです。　週末ごとに　帳簿をつければ　そんなに大変な作業ではないはずなのに・・・。
なぜかそれができない！　
提出期限は3月15日。　今日は3月１０日です。　昨日ようやく　提出できる状態になりました。　レシートの整理から考えると1か月くらいかかりました。　自分のルーズさに嫌気がさします。　この作業のせいで、italkiのポッドキャストも　先週　更新することができませんでした。
来年の確定申告で、また、こんなことにならないように、今年は月末ごとに　ちゃんと　帳簿を付けようと思います。　でも、すでに、1月と2月の分はできていません。今年の確定申告を送信したら、すぐに　作業を始めようと思います！
みなさんは、しなくてはいけないことを　後回しにしていませんか。　後回しにしても何もいいことはありません。　「今日の一針明日の十針」です。
