Never lowball your own salary expectations.

I increased my salary by 90% in the last 6 months by following the below negotiation strategies

1) Do proper market research (Glassdoor and LinkedIn are good places to start with)

A Thread👇🏼

#JobSeekersSA #Jobs #jobseekers
2) Talk to different people on LinkedIn who are in similar roles in that company to understand better . 4 should be a good number to get an idea about the range.
3) Organize your thoughts and document proper plan of action before you negotiate (Write them in clear and concise bullet points)

Graduates, take notes...

Do you know that your salary is an illusion?

Let me teach you some basic math: R350,000 a year. After taxes you only get about R287, 225. Minus 12% for pension, take home is R257 565. Image
If you are not staying at home, rent can be about R4500/month. #stayhome
If you don't have medical aid already, R1700 minimum less maybe for hospital cover only...

Your new cash flow is R257, 565−(R54, 000+R1, 700×12) = R183, 165. Image
Need a car? used car (preowned) with an average car payment of R3, 500 and your insurance about R1, 500 (if you have never been covered by car insurance this value can be quite high, first time driver. So many other reasons.).

Don't buy a car yet... Please... Image

I'll be posting a lot of advice this week for job-seekers, but before we get to the complicated stuff, let's get the basics out the way. Things you should remove from your CV TODAY! (thread). #JobSeekersSA
1. Reasons for leaving your previous job.
2. Cover page.
3. Number of dependents.
4. Hobbies & interests (unless it's aligned to the position you're applying for or enhances your brand).
5. Photo (unless a huge part of you getting the job is dependent on your looks).
6. Home address. (Rather state location like this: Rondebosch, Cape Town, South Africa).
7. Jobs from 15 years ago.
8. Additional documents (always keep copies of ID, certificates etc separate from your CV).
9. Cover letter (CV & cover letter should be 2 separate documents).
