Discussion & help needed: Negotiating your salary

TheWayIam

A friend of mine has been looking for a job for a while since he finished his study & got his GC/PR in Australia.

Recently he got an opportunity to work for a G500 company Aussie sub as a network architect. But he feels that he is not good at business skills and when it comes to negotiating his salary. He doesn't know how to push the employer to get the ball rolling, i.e., he wants the employer to give him a salary figure first but it seems highly unlikely that the sharp & uncompromising manager would give him this piece of crucial information first.

He doesn't know what could he do to sort out this problem smoothly and turns to me for help. But I am also not very experienced in this kind of scenario either. Could someone on this BBS shed some lights on this topic? I am pretty sure both he and myself would appreciate your kind help and suggestions.

给雇主一个从p1到p2的工资范围, 老板喜欢你,给你p2, 不喜欢你,给你p1.

I believe i am well qualified for this job, and I am sure if you feel the same, you will present me with a fair offer. May I ask the salary range for this position?

Notes:  try to reply with a kind and freely smile when you talk about serious topics.

I am truly interested in the position offered by your company. I am the right person with the right skill, experience and qualifications. And xxx is a company already known for excellence and respect to its employees. I believe your company will reward me according to my profile properly. In this regard, can you give me some indication about the range of salary for this position?
