Dialogue 2.
| A: | A lot of job ads do include the question of salary. |
| B: | Yeah, but the answer “adequate payment” is also an answer. And it plays the ball back to the employer. |
| A: | Sounds difficult. Won't he think that I dodge the question? |
| B: | Yes, in any case, this is what he wants you to do. He is the boss, he tells you what your work is worth. It is up to you to accept his offer. And you prove that you can cope with sensitive questions. So the employer can trust you to be able to deal with a customer. |
| A: | As you might have noticed, they ask certain questions over and over again. Every time you give a slightly different answer, but it is always the same question. In the end the employer gets the impression that you don't know what you want. |
| B: | Why do they ask the same question? |
| A: | It's like this. For example they ask, did you have any further trainings in your last jobs? What do you think about voluntary trainings? |
| B: | But those are two different questions. |
| A: | You answer them differently, in general the employer wants you to answer that you love to learn more, that you can make your job better and that you are used to it anyway. |
| B: | I never saw it that way. |
| A: | Yeah, it's connected. |
| B: | Thank you, I will take this into account when I apply for the next job. |
| A: | Well, don't go through the advertisements. A technical company in the city will start a new recruitment round next month. If you apply now they won't look for someone else. This is another way of successful job hunting, to know that there is a job vacant, before someone else knows about and can apply. |
| B: | Wow! I should have come to you earlier. |
| A: | Yes, you should have… but anyway good luck! |
