But if you see a teenage girl walking along the side of the highway, don't pick her up. I mean, they, they, they make scary movies that start out like that.

linksfiend Posted April 22, 2005 Share Posted April 22, 2005 I spent 10 months in Detroit. It's probably the last place in the CONUS I'd want to move - other than most of Texas (excluding Austin). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoachChuckDickerson Posted April 22, 2005 Share Posted April 22, 2005 ask what the starting $ is. 312635[/snapback] Talking salary does not happen until AFTER a job offer is made. Don't even mention it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROSCOE P. COE TRAIN Posted April 22, 2005 Share Posted April 22, 2005 ah, yeahhhhhhhhhhhh, asking what the salary is, is a smallllllllllllllllll little joke!!!!!!!! are you kidding me, if the kdi goes and asks that, he is a tool. clearly, that was a joke.

It's not obvious to everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
udonkey Posted April 22, 2005 Share Posted April 22, 2005 From the way you've talked about Ohio in the past, once you get to Michigan, don't turn around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fan in Chicago Posted April 22, 2005 Share Posted April 22, 2005 Hey all, I've got my first big job interview today! With Robert Half Technologies of Detroit. I just picked up my new suit and I'm nervous! Wish me luck! 312443[/snapback] Having had 2 interviews in the last two weeks resulting in two offers (yeah !), I can offer a few quick ideas. I am experienced and not a first time hire: - Offer a firm but not hard handshake - Don't sit till asked - Make eye contact, don't stare - Put all your energy in your replies as if that is the only thing that will keep you alive - At the end of the interview, tell them that you are very inteersted in the position and will look forward to hearing from them soon. Seems obvious, but just say it ! - Send a thank you e-mail within the next day - As others have said, don't even mention salary. If asked about your expectations, deflect and say you would rather see if thereis a good fit and then discuss that at a later date. Good luck ! Now I am in an enviable situation of choosing between three options- the two companies and staying with mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't even mention it. 312694[/snapback] thats really not true. you need to get some expectation of what the salary range will be,but the specifics are negotiated after the offer is made Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They want to see if you can ask for the order, or go for the close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
