I was thinking x, so perhaps it’s possible to negotiate or talk a little more about it?« says Kamilla Mortensen »Another possibility is that you don’t get to talk about salary during the interviews, and you’re not presented with the salary until you receive the contract. At this stage, it’s still possible to try to negotiate. In this situation, I would recommend that you either call or write to the employer and thank them for the contract, while at the same time indicating that you would like to talk about the salary if possible,« says Kamilla Mortensen. Remember there aren’t any rules for when to negotiate salary in the recruitment process The most important thing is that you’re prepared for the different situations Hold your horses! Do you know what you’re signing? When the job search has paid off, and you’re about to sign a contract, you need to keep your cool. We know that it can feel like it’s NOW or never, but it’s not. If the company has decided to offer you the job, you can safely accept the job and tell them that you’d like to discuss your contract with IDA before you sign it. This is a completely normal procedure and employers are used to this – although they rarely mention it to you. At IDA, we often experience that new graduates don’t come to us to discuss their contract until after they’ve signed it. That’s too late – or at least it makes it very difficult – to contest a low initial salary or to negotiate better terms and conditions for you. Therefore: come to us before you sign the contract. IDA’s legal advisers will ensure that your contract meets current legislation, and by keeping your cool, you can also compare your salary with our salary calculator and see what others in similar positions make. It’s frustrating to find out afterwards that you’ve started on a low salary, and the disappointment can be difficult to get over, even though you like your job.
