Ah, Bu Hayat Çekilmez... İş Aramak Dahil

Happy New Year, Friends. We are now in 2024. For some, this can be a time to look forward. A time to improve. A time to find a new job. But it's become tough out there. Finding a job used to involve more "efendilik." It seems like the process used to be easier. Now it's tougher. Ah, iş aramak çekilmez!

One way that things have gotten tougher is that many employers now ask employees about the salary they want. In the past, many jobs used to have set salaries. You knew the salary of the position you were applying for. These days, even LEAVING a job has become tougher... "İŞTEN AYRILMAYA İKİ HAFTA...

But let's get back to the interview. You could look at this as a contract negotiation. In legal terms, a contract involves two main elements - (1) OFFER, and (2) ACCEPTANCE. In the past, the posted salary was like an offer. If you go to buy a car, the salesman doesn't ask, "How much are you willing to pay for this 2001 Chevy Malibu?" Instead, they tell you, "The car costs $8,000. Do you like it?"

So how do you deal with that question, "How much are you looking for in terms of salary?" If you give too high a figure, the human resources people could reject you. Many recruiters say that a good way to deal with this question is to say that you need to know more about the job before discussing a figure. Here are more thoughts on that subject - "İş görüşmesinde maaş... " https://youtu.be/eaEPdAaq9Fw?si=tTRRakPfq6OBLFqw

Don't be discouraged. It's become difficult out there even for someone as tough as Haluk Bey... Haluk İş Görüşmesinde (Çocuklar Duymasın) https://youtu.be/LQzJJWzu6_g?si=hS0lS6RdfZQtqNvI

It is a bit like the song, "Sevdan Olmasa. ("Ah, bu hayat çekilmez") But a patient and determined person will not give up. From the very talented and much-loved Candan Erçetin... Sevdan Olmasa https://youtu.be/X1pg6hBrmCE?si=XkRWi9ns63dUxrQX

Happy New Year!

Good Luck - Yolunuz açık olsun.
