Vital Insights On The Evaluation Of Employment Opportunity And Salary Negotiations

By Marie Allen


In a world with high levels of unemployment and joblessness, people have become desperate to acquire employment through any means possible. This has brought with it a lot of unethical practices and moral decay in the society. Such vices in the society include corruption and deceiving innocent people who are desperate to acquire employment. Therefore, there is need to carefully gauge the genuineness of any employment opportunity before applying to avoid being swindled and defrauded by frauds who pause as employment agents. This excerpt will look at important considerations to be made during salary negotiations and job offer evaluation.

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.

Salary offered by the employer. Financial freedom is everyone's aspiration and the reason why people look for sustainable jobs with good salaries. Therefore, the salary associated with an employment opening should guide a person whether to apply or not apply for the advertised position. The salary paid by the employer should match the skills the employee will give in the position if hired.

Benefits associated with the employment should also be deliberated on while assessing viability of an employment opportunity. Salaries and wages are not the only payoffs accrued from being employed. There are other important benefits associated with being employed that act as a defining factor whether one applies or does not apply for a specific job. Such benefits include insurance, incentives, retirement benefits, pension and leaves.

It is important to consider additional costs involved with the new engagement opportunity. New employment opportunities may come with hidden additional costs that may alter savings plan by adding on expenses incurred. Transport may come with hidden additional cost that may increase the expenses incurred by people. When a person has to relocate, additional costs are incurred in relocating and settling in the new location.

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 associated with an opportunity should be an important deliberation while assessing an employment opportunity. Understanding the career path of an advertised position is very important for individuals seeking employment. Applying for an employment opportunity within an individual's career path builds on specialization. Therefore, it is important for individuals to take time to research on the career path of an advertised position.

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.
