As someone who is currently interviewing for multiple positions, I am finding these videos especially helpful during the preparation phase. Thank you so much for doing these and I really hope you guys keep making these informative videos in the future.

[@binbinli2412]

I truly enjoyed the information and her presentation

[@panchogmg]

Thank you for your beautiful presentation and information. All is true but as Ann mention companies post salary for some entry position and they still want to have the upper hand for negotiation. I really enjoyed and learned something new from you. All the best

[@mikem4481]

This channel is a gold mine

[@StarsStars714]

You're awesome!

[@bachan22sargam]

Truly helpful

[@TheDefJamm]

Advice: if you don't get offered what you say (even by a little bit), tell them to get lost and move on. Simple. Never sell yourself short for a greedy company.

[@anotherone8941]

It's crazy because I've applied for a job that offers 8-20 dollars per hour, and when they asked about my desired salary, I asked for 10 dollars per hour without knowing these tips. Thing is... I got to the next step lol

[@Ludwig55555]

BEAUTIFUL 🧡💛💚💙❤

[@nessyldnmanagement8574]

What if a company decline your application and then call back with the same offer?

[@holysoldier7485]

I took a Pre-employment exam designed to 'wash out' candidates. The Lead Recruiter sent me job description details, including a rate of $22/hr. I researched what the job was worth and found the same position and job description posted by the recruiting agency, although it was a hybrid role in another state at a rate of $25.93/hr. How do you negotiate the other salary?

[@jessesethi3598]

I had a talk on salary in the first phone interview-whatever they said, I was okay with it. Do you think I should have raised this point in the second interview?

[@nessuno5403]

Double or nothing. Boom or bust. Go all in on red.

[@phillipsnichole2857]

I am competing against kids who live with their parents and therefor, will accept a low hourly wage- it even sounds like riches to them. How do you recommend I compete with that?

[@profpurdy]

If you've done your homework, you should not need to ask "what is the salary range for this position?" This makes you look unprepared.

[@Saeeeeeeeed]

Seems you are teaching recruiters how to negotiate not employees

[@sergiovaldez458]

Wow, this girl is strikingly beautiful. And I'm generally not even into girls! 😳😂 The tips about salary negotiation are really valuable too though, thanks!

[@TippyPuddles]

This is out dated information. Most companies of any medium to large size has a pre determined salary range. Most employers ask you to state an expected salary on the website application and won't let you get away with leaving it blank.

[@cenk82]

Exactly!

[@mikem4481]

Still room to negotiate. There's always room to negotiate

[@jake9.1.3]

Hi im poor my job pays me but not as much as the next person should i tell that person to give me a percentage of there check to make up the difference

[@mkl5672]

Performance review cycles are absolutely not negotiable at any legitimate company.... that would be such a liability. If the company has different cycles for different employees I'd consider that a huge red flag

[@ElaBB2020]

They are not saying that you ask for a shorter review cycle, it's more on if they have quarterly reviews vs companies who do yearly reviews. Government agencies have step increases, but certain agencies can have additional step opportunities to get through the ranks faster and these are labeled as "quality step" increases to help with the promotion cycle. Again, different companies and sectors, but these options are also based on different merits.

[@abdullahalkharji7579]

are you single ?

[@DavidSmith-fw3if]

Great question!

[@mjaraz5442]

Oh that was funny! 😂

[@nessuno5403]

As single as your camel

[@mjaraz5442]

Are six figures good enough for you to marry me?

[@JustMe-vz3wd]

u were drunk, right?

[@nessuno5403]

Creep

[@oybekbotir]

I missed so much of the information you presented... You're beautiful and that's very distracting! You need to do something with it... cannot concentrate.

[@mistressmozart]

stop looking then if you can't control yourself. What a disgusting comment

[@nessuno5403]

Creep

[@jjsweg9012]
