| KEY ITEMS |
|
Please be sure to visit the client’s website, and at the very least learn some basic information about the company. |
|
It is important to let us handle all salary negotiations on your behalf. |
|
Please remember that we are working on your behalf, and we are all in this together to help you get the best job and the best pay possible. |
|
If the client asks you any pay or salary questions, let the client know that you are comfortable with us handling all salary discussions on your behalf. If they ask again, or try to pressure you into answering, tell them that we have asked you to not to discuss salary with them (in other words, blame us, so that you don’t have to feel like you’re the one being disagreeable with them.) |
