RealLife Cantonese with Grace(细菌)

The people you meet might respond to uncertainty differently than you. Consider seeing things from their point of view and adapting a little. Listen to this story of Nicole and Susan. 

Nicole likes routines and likes to plan in advance. Every Sunday she spends the afternoon and evening at her parents’ house. Every Monday she meets her best friend for lunch and every Monday, Wednesday and Friday mornings she goes to a café and reads. Having some control over what’s going to happen makes her feel safe. Then one day Nicole meets Susan. Susan never plans things in advance, is always late, and prefers to be flexible. She likes to make decisions based on how she’s feeling that day and feels that doing the same thing is limiting. Nicole tried to make plans to meet for coffee in advance, Susan sounds uninterested, but she never gives her definite answers. Her behavior really annoys Nicole. 

With people who don’t mind uncertainty …

Remember that you can learn a lot from the unknown and the unfamiliar.
Show flexibility.
For example:
For me, either way is fine.
Let me know what you’re comfortable with.


With people who avoid uncertainty …

Offer details when making decisions.
Provide a context with background information. 
For example:
The reason I do it this way is…
Let me explain why (I’m doing this).

Show you understand the importance of structure and plans. 
I understand the (structure/flexibility) is important / means a lot to you.
I can see why you (spend time on planning).

Idioms about money

In telephone screening interviews, it’s common for hiring managers to ask candidates for their salary expectations. Why do they ask this question? 

They want to make sure your salary expectations align with the amount they have budgeted for the job. The hiring manager is also testing you to see if you know and will ask for what you’re worth. 

While hiring managers have good reasons for asking this question upfront, it's tricky to answer it at the beginning of the job interview process. Consider that a salary is only one component of an overall benefits package. 

Yet, if you give a higher range than the company has set, they will eliminate you, and the company will never find out if you would have been worth paying a higher salary. So this question poses a real problem. 

You have to convince the employer to ask you this question later in the recruitment process or provide a well-informed range that doesn't get you eliminated from the candidate pool. By the time you are a top candidate, employers will be far more willing to give you the salary you want and deserve. 

In this episode, you will learn where to research an appropriate salary range for your role. You’ll also get three strategies for answering the question with sample responses.

By the end of the episode, you will be prepared to talk confidently about your salary expectations.
