hi, some of you may remember me as the sad sounding marketing grad from 2 months ago lol. Read Here for my background
Well..I guess since then there is finally light at the end of the tunnel. Got two calls for interviews, one of which is a multinational advertising firm. I will be returning to HK within the next two weeks anyway, but the funny thing is HR called me back again (after a week of the initial call) OFFERING me a phone interview, which was very surprising. Over the phone, the HR guy pretty much told me straight up that they really needed someone quick (aka desperate or I don't think I would've been offered the luxury of a phone interview). I will be having my interview over the phone in a couple of days.
I'm expecting there to be a point during the interview when they're going to ask me about salary expectations. Under the "job level" section, they did indicate it was a middle level job, and in the posting it says they want 2-3 years of experience. Seeing this is HK, not sure if the title makes a difference but the title says something like digital community manager. Moreover, they're desperate for someone
So, given all of these circumstances, is there anything I can leverage on for a higher salary? Should I ask them to name their salary range, or give my own initially? Very much a noob despite several jobs in terms of salary expectations/negotiations...In terms of the job, I feel that with my skillset and experience I am very qualified for it.
any help would be appreciated, thank you!!
