The next day seems a little desperate.Wait a week, and I‘ve probably interviewed a bunch of other people and you can remind me again how great you are.‖ –Cynthia Shapiro 14.―When it comes to getting a job, persistence does not pay off.Checking in once or twice is fine.But if you call and call and call, you‘re not going to get the job, because you‘re annoying.‖ –HR manager at a medical-equipment sales firm 15.―Sometimes we‘ll tell you we ended up hiring someone internally—even if we didn‘t—just to get you off our back.‖ HR representative at a Fortune 500 financial-services firm 16.―If your former supervisor hated you, don‘t give me his direct line for a reference.Instead, give me the number to HR.Most of us will give out only the dates of your employment and what your title was.‖ –HR profeional at a midsize firm in North Carolina 17.―Yes, we do look at your credit as part of our background check.And if you‘ve got a bankruptcy or if your credit score is below 650, you‘ll have a hard time getting a job.[But] background checks are expensive.Sometimes we bluff, get you to fill out the form, and don‘t even run it.‖ –Cynthia Shapiro What HR People Won’t Tell You About Salaries and Raises
1.―There‘s one website that drives all HR people crazy: salary.com.It supposedly lists average salaries for different industries, but if you look up any job, the salary it gives you always seems to be $10,000 to $20,000 higher than it actually is.That just makes people mad.‖ –HR director at a public relations agency 2.―On salary, some companies try to lock you in early.At the first interview, they‘ll tell me to say, ‗The budget for this position is 40K to 45K.Is that acceptable to you?‘ If the candidate accepts, they‘ll know they‘ve got him or her stuck in that little area.‖ –Ben Eubanks, HR profeional in Alabama 3.―You think you‘re all wonderful and deserve a higher salary, but here in HR, we know the truth.And the truth is, a lot of you aren‘t very good at your jobs, and you‘re definitely not as good as you think you are.‖ –HR profeional at a midsize firm in North Carolina 4.―Be careful if a headhunter is negotiating for you.You may want extra time off and be willing to sacrifice salary, but he is negotiating hardest for what hits his commiion.‖ –HR profeional in New York City 5.―I once hired someone, and her mother didn‘t think the salary we were offering was high enough, so she called me to negotiate.There are two problems with that: 1)I can‘t negotiate with someone who‘s not you.2)It‘s your mother.Seriously, I was like, ‗Did that woman‘s mother just call me, or was that my imagination?‘ I immediately withdrew the offer.‖ –HR profeional in New York City What Your HR Person Won’t Tell You About Being Fired
