Demonstrating factual examples always work in favour of negotiating with your salary. Showing your last organization's salary slips will enhance transparency. Moreover, stating data about the improvement you had done in increasing organizational growth in past would help your new organization to gauge your actual potentiality.

Also, if possible, commit to deliver the projected result within targeted deadline in the interview, so that they become convinced to agree to your proposal of your desired salary.

There are no standard negotiations skills for salary offer in an interview, however, the most important thing to do is good preparations for the interview. Good preparations includes researching about the company's employment policies, the current market value salary for your professional and the labor law related policies of the same. Once you have such vital prior information, align your salary expectations with your qualifications and competencies to match your bargain. Thanx for the invitation

dear, Lana Oudeh Don’t get fixated on money in a job interview. Focus on the value of the entire deal: responsibilities, location, travel, flexibility in work hours, opportunities for growth and promotion, perks, support for continued education, and so forth. Think not just about how you’re willing to be rewarded but also when. You may decide to chart a course that pays less handsomely now but will put you in a stronger position later.finally let the person across the table is previously detrmining your monthly salary depending on your experience and whole cv, may be your interview make it more or less depending on answering questions and understanding their constraints.

Some Salary Negotiation Secrets:1. Set your expectationsBefore you start negotiating you have to determine the minimum salary you can accept. Do not disclose this minimum during negotiation with the employer. Then set a realistic salary based on job responsibilities in addition to the salary of a similar job holder with qualifications similar to your qualifications. To find out about this salary, search for job vacancies in newspapers, magazines and online. Finally, set a generous (and realistic) salary for the job you would be happy to charge. The results of the Bayt.com Payroll Survey in the Middle East and North Africa 2014 indicate that three out of seven respondents in the region are dissatisfied with their salaries.2 - Make the employer reveals the salary firstIn terms of professionals' perceptions of salaries, the results of the Bayt.com Survey on "Prospects for Professionals in the Middle East and North Africa for 2013" show that 48% of professionals in the region want to charge their managers with a higher salary for the new year. Be sure to make the employer reveal the salary he intends to submit first so you can negotiate and do not miss yourself the opportunity to get a higher salary.3. Get a job offer before you start negotiatingThe best time to negotiate is after the employer decides to hire you and offers you the salary he / she deems appropriate. Giving your employer an offer means that you have succeeded in convincing him that your skills qualify you to work for his company. You can now take advantage of the situation to get the salary you deserve, so you will not have another chance to negotiate your salary after accepting the job offer.4. Begin negotiatingNegotiations will start either by the employer disclosing an average salary that he or she sees fit or by revealing the average salary you will accept.In the best of circumstances, the employer will offer a salary that exceeds your expectations. If the average salary you expect is between $ 750 and $ 900 and your employer offers a salary of $ 900- $ 950, for example, you can say that this salary is very close to your expectations and you will accept it.At worst, your employer may offer you a lower salary than your expectations, and here your negotiation skills play an important role. But before you start negotiating, make sure you and your employer are fairly close in terms of expectations. For example, if your average salary is between $ 750-900 and your employer offers you $ 500-550, either you have misjudged job responsibilities or your employer does not provide a good salary. Here he plays the minimum salary in which I thought about his role. Does the proposed salary meet your minimum requirements? If no, this post may not be suitable for you.If, for example, your average salary of $ 750-900 was met with a salary of $ 700-750, do not despair. But review the responsibilities of the job, pointing out that a candidate with your qualifications worth a minimum of $ 750, and that you are actually looking for a salary in the amount of $ 800. Then justify this salary: Confirm to the employer that you are interested in working in his company and that you can contribute effectively to its success. Re-emphasize your job-related qualifications and your proposed salary is a realistic salary in light of both your qualifications and job requirements.5. Negotiate the entire package, not just the salaryYou should be prepared to negotiate the whole package, not just the salary. If you can not increase your basic salary, you may include in the negotiation stage health insurance for you and your family, housing and mobility allowances, children's education, annual travel tickets and membership of sports clubs, as well as attending seminars and participation in training courses.Negotiating a salary is a difficult task, but if you beat it, it's easy for you to deal with your employer and turn things around for you. Bayt.com recruitment experts hope these tips will be a good start in negotiating the salary they deserve.

"We found that those people who attempted to negotiate their salary in a constructive way are perceived as more favorable than those who didn't negotiate at all, because they were demonstrating the skills the company wanted to hire them for," says Robin Pinkley,
