Curly you are a boot camper awesome how do you handle being told the salary during
the interview and it's less than what you want or expected curly
focus baby all right wait i'm not being funny here folks when they're giving you information
most of the time information like this is just going to throw you off your game because
during the interview they're not giving you an offer they're sharing the salary okay now
i'm assuming you mean they say this job pays 50 grand not not curly here's a 50 000 offer
right because these are very different in the interview i don't even care what they say it is
i really don't if i'm looking for an opportunity and i wanna i wanna make an informed decision
i do not kill opportunities because i make a hundred and somebody told me the job pays 75.
that's me okay you might have a different outlook i'm telling you from
many many many tens of thousands of scenarios that i've seen that it does you no good to
prematurely eject yourself from the process i'm about the art of the possible which means
you may think it's worth 75. but you haven't seen me yet okay and i had you right i haven't
had a chance to dazzle you so if they say curly it pays 75 or 50 whatever it is you say
i'm sure that if we're right for each other we'll figure out what the right number is and you move
on and i wouldn't even pay attention to that because all that's going to do is throw you off
your game it's the same reason why i don't want you asking what the salary is initially because it
has it'll it'll it'll it'll influence you poorly and then you might you might become lacks about it
when they would have happily paid you more okay how do you handle it just slide it right on by
water off your back literally i'm i'm serious and then you you you negotiate it out duke it out
call it whatever you want at the end that's what i would do now if you start getting into situations
like well andy i'm working 12 hours a day i generally like what i'm doing i earn 125 000. they
told me it was only 75 okay fine that's fine right but if you're in if you're in job search mode
are the passable and if if you have the time if you're unemployed i would look at everything
it even if even if you're even if you're just going through right you take a swing you never
know that's my view interviewer gave me a rundown of the job they are hiring for this interview
today okay awesome told me that the dollars and told me to say the dollar she suggested in layoff
were possible so i'm assuming i'm assuming you mean they're asking you if you're okay
with what they're what they're willing to offer for the job anytime this occurs my view
is okay i'm sure if we're right for each other we'll be able to come to something amenable
and then i go in and i i do i duke it out i could go on and on story after i could chew up the rest
of the day telling you stories about how i was millions of miles away i earned this and they were
i you know i earned this and they're down here oh i got it oh i got more than they
there will always be money for the right person and if you're gonna tell me andy that's just not
true i'm gonna tell you you just didn't dazzle them enough to make them want to dig deep into
their pockets companies will do whatever it takes to get the right person for what they need
if if if there's a million people that can do what you can do and they can pay less then
they're probably going to do that but you got to show them that there's only one of you and what
you can bring to the table and they will figure out where to get the money from even if it's more
than they expected they would have to pay i there are so many ways to get them and we had one woman
made a lot of money and they were like 75 grand light so so go go to baby girl and go to curly
they said the job pays this she says i make 75 more than that we had coaching right she was a
boot camper we went in name's karen went down did the presentation got on the flight did all this
and that she was the first one in the recruitment pipeline they were interviewing other people they
said we want to make you an offer i said we gave her the script we i told her all the permutations
they would say everything she should say depending on whatever they said this is what you say one of
those this is what you say is hey okay this is my number at a minimum and i'm so confident in this
that i'm okay with waiting if you want to review all these other people and you want to go out
and try to find some other people i'm not going anywhere there's my number that's it right went
through the whole process because what happened as she went through the interviewing process
what did she do she changed the way they thought about the job then all of a sudden what happens
they saw her you know i one time i was watching the sunset once in hawaii i sat there with my you
know ex-girlfriend at the time and i thought this is a pretty good sunset and then the next night
i went back and i and i had like a talisker and a cigar and i'm watching the sunset and i'm thinking
this is a pretty good sunset and i can never watch the sunset now without the scotch in the cigar
kind of thing right once you see it have it do it your benchmarks changed right okay she changed the
benchmark she said that to them the recruiter then said hang on let me go back to the to the people
because i know we don't want to lugia they found the 75 000. where'd they get it
they had two positions they were going to hire for and they they decided that they would wait
until the next quarter and then peel off a little money from those and then take a
little money from over here and they figured it out that's what happens because she was awesome
and she stuck to her guns right what was my quote stacey what was my quote today wake up every day
and think to yourself how can i be a threat to everything average is that the quote today stacy
put the link in the thing i think that was the quote today that's how i want you guys to think
how can i be a threat to everything average you think that way you won't be average you won't
yeah pop pop that it's all right i hope that helps i'm sorry i went off on that but i'm telling you
guys assumptions are not your friends haggle it out at the end go when your stock is the highest
make your argument and stand your ground stand your ground
