Prestoff 05/10/22 1:39:27 PM #1:	I'm interviewing people for our level entry position that pays 75k with benefits at a CPA firm since yesterday. So when a guy comes in this fresh out of college and graduated with a humanities degree with no experience in the accounting field while wearing really wrinkling business attires: immediately starts his "introduction" by asking for 100K with 1 months worth of PTO and full health and dental coverages for his benefits. I felt like JJ from spiderman when I asked him if he was being serious while smirking at the same time. I get it he was probably told by people to high ball it so we can negotiate down, but considering we're already getting +1000 resumes for this job position I really have no interest in wasting my time with someone like this. Especially looking at his resume alone doesn't give him enough negotiation power. I don't blame him though, I blame our recruiters for letting this guy get so far as to even get interviewed to begin with. In my 7 years of working here, this was the fastest "nope" I ever done for an interview since. For those of you who are trying to get into a high paying career, especially for a level entry position, make sure to have negotiation powers before high balling like this. Also on your resume, make sure to list your "achievements" and not your "responsibilities". Achievement means you've done some form of leadership abilities as oppose to a person who just follows orders. You can stretch the truth, but never outright lie about anything in your resume because I've met too many clients to know when they're lying or not. --- DI MOLTO! <cite>Prestoff posted [p:964930884] in Met my fir...

Believe whatever you want. I just figured that with over thousands of applications our recruiters wouldn't be handing me baloney interviewees. Yesterday's interviews went really well, it was just this morning I'm sharing the worst one I got in my 7 years working here. I've had interviewees who high ball like crazy before, but most of them always had something to offer on the table. Ultimately I don't make the hiring decisions, that is for our exec teams to do when it's the third round. I'm just the first round where I screen people giving my recommendations. There's been plenty where I give my highest rec and they never get hired and some that don't get my rec but get hired anyways. I'm not perfect, but I definitely know this guy was absolutely not worth it after interviewing him. I have 3 more interviews today I got to do (after lunch), don't think any of them will be as bad as this mornings. --- DI MOLTO! <cite>Prestoff posted [p:964932570] in Met my fir... [t:80016048]...</cite> <quote>lilORANG posted... </cite> <quote>1000s of applications and you offer an interview to a guy who was clearly not qualified based on the resume.... yeah, this story is bs.</quote> Believe whatever you want. I just figured that with over thousands of applications our recruiters wouldn't be handing me baloney interviewees. Yesterday's interviews went really well, it was just this morning I'm sharing the worst one I got in my 7 years working here. I've had interviewees who high ball like crazy before, but most of them always had something to offer on the table. Ultimately I don't make the hiring decisions, that is for our exec teams to do when it's the third round. I'm just the first round where I screen people giving my recommendations. There's been plenty where I give my highest rec and they never get hired and some that don't get my rec but get hired anyways. I'm not perfect, but I definitely know this guy was absolutely not worth it after interviewing him. I have 3 more interviews today I got to do (after lunch), don't think any of them will be as bad as this mornings. </quote> ... Copied to Clipboard!
emblem boy 05/10/22 3:08:12 PM #36:	Good for him for trying to see how high he could get. If you have a salary that you won't budge on, then that should have been in the job listing and should have been told to the guy prior to the interview. If it was, then my bad. --- http://avatar.xboxlive.com/avatar/emblem%20boy/avatar-body.png haters gonna hate <cite>emblem boy posted [p:964932990] in Met my fir...

MacadamianNut3 05/10/22 3:19:34 PM #41:	I remember when somebody I knew as a contractor tried to negotiate his salary when he got an offer shortly after I did. I told him you can't negotiate a government salary because there are pay grades, we looked it up online together when I told him that, but it wasn't good enough so he tried to negotiate it anyway Guess who missed the hiring window and had to wait a year for another offer lol --- Roll Tide & Go Irish <cite>MacadamianNut3 posted [p:964933240] in Met my fir...
