Considerations To Make During Job Offer Evaluation And Salary Negotiations

By Marie Allen


Unemployment rates are rising every day with a lot of youth facing this challenge first hand. This reality has made a lot of young men and women join crime while others may do anything to acquire employment. Due to this, vices like corruption, blackmails and swindling of innocent citizens have become very rampant. This has made it necessary to carefully and critically assess an employment opportunity before committing to apply for it. This reduces incidences of swindling and defrauding innocent people. This article takes you through essential elements that entail an informed job assessment and salary negotiations.

All essential information about the prospective employer. It is important to know the company offering the employment opportunities before applying. This should be done to ensure that the company is genuine and fit for a person to apply. Social media, the internet and stock exchange markets act as reliable sources of information that can help one know about a specific company. This builds confidence in people knowing what they are applying for is genuine.

Salaries offered by the employer is an important deliberation while evaluating an employment opportunity. The salary offered by the employer should be enough for the employee to handle all their expenses and still have some amount left for saving. The amount should bring about financial freedom to the employee and sustain all their financial needs. The salary paid by the employer should match the amount of work the employee is expected to perform.

Another major consideration people should make in evaluating an employment opportunity is benefits accrued from the employment. People should consider other benefits that come with the employment opportunity like retirement benefits, pension, insurance, incentives among other benefits. These benefits should be well articulated in the offer letter issued to the employees hired.

Hidden additional costs associated with the employment should also be considered when evaluating new employment opportunities. There are costs that are not documented or indicated in the offer letter that are very essential and that may affect the saving and expenditure plans. Transportation and relocation costs are some of the hidden costs associated with new employment opportunities that should be considered when assessing a job offer.

While assessing the viability of an employment opportunity, one should also consider the work load associated with the advertised position. Understanding the work load associated with a specific position before applying enables one to predict the time they will take above regular working hours to completely handle it. It also helps an individual understand what the employer expects from them.

Career path of the employment opportunity should also be considered. People should strive to understand the career path an advertised employment position follows and establish whether it aligns with their career path. Following one career path enhances specialization and mastering of a specific field.

The values of the potential employer should also be considered while assessing an employment opportunity. A person should compare their personal values against those of the employer to establish whether they are compatible. When the values appear to be conflicting, the working environment between the employers and the employees will be very tense and not conducive.
