2️⃣ Have a specific salary range

One of the first questions a career counselor or employer will ask you is:

“How much salary do you have in mind?”

If you answer “I’m flexible”, your professional credibility will be reduced and the other party will not be able to refer you for a position.

Before introducing you, the employer should know what your expected salary range is; Otherwise, everyone’s time may be wasted.

What should you do?

• Research the market rights in the desired province or city.

• Check the average salary for your target job.

• Set a reasonable and realistic range.

• Be prepared to negotiate salary.
