Etong tanong na ito napag-usapan na namin nung college pero nung Final Interview ko sa isang company I was surprised to hear it and natigilan talaga ako kasi hindi ko expected na maitatanong sa akin:
Tanong: Why should we not hire you?
Sagot ko(although hindi ko alam kung tama): I'm sorry but I don't see any reasons for you not to hire me. Because I think I fit in the job I am applying for. (yung first line lang ang tanda kong exact na sinabi ko). hahaha...
Ngayon kapag itinanong ulit sa akin iyan in case mag-apply ako ang isasagot ko na:
IF you cannot pay me, then you should not hire me...hehehe...

napaisip ako sa post na ito..kasi naitanong ko ito minsan sa interview ko...san ka nag-apply nito vortex??

ok lang naman maging scripted. wag mo lang papahalata. mahirap maging scripted kung situational ang questions.

@vortex
maganda ang sagot mo na "i don't see any reasons not to hire me". usually, these type of questions check candidate confidence.

@motfs
hindi kita ihhire.

ah ganun po ba?Sige tatandaan ko iyan.hahaha.Thanks.

nice. basta wag kakalimutan ang humility. and make sure that during the interview, wala ka talaga nasabi that may stop companies from hiring you.

about sa salary... matapos tanungin kung magkano ang expected salary biglang magfafollow up ng "paano kung mas mababa ang ibibigay sayo, would you pursue your application?"

hindi ko tuloy alam ang isasagot ko. ang goal ko kasi mas mataas nang salary. kaya ang sagot ko, i won't accept the job. kaya lang parang turn off naman sa interviewer yun kaya minsan ang sinasabi ko na lang under-nego ang expected salary ko...

tama naman. pero think of it on a different perspective. basic pay lang ba yun? or kasama na allowances? how about other non-monetary benefits? this is where negotiation usually comes in.

of course, we all aim for a bigger pay. pero minsan, align din natin sila sa current market price and sa pay grade ng company (plus equity among current employees at the same position and level).

^ you speak like an HR person. haha! oo tamang POV nga ganyan. always look at the total package.
kelangan din naman kasi alam mo ang industry standard for the job and level that you are applying. at the same time, makikita mo rin ang worth mo kung talagang tataasan nila.

[mangkulas03]

^ haha. it's because i am really an HR/Recruitment person.

true, makikita mo ang worth mo kung tataasan ang sweldo mo, or ibigay ang expected salary mo without any question.

yung iba kasi, kapal ng muka makapag-expect ng salary... pag go live, patay. talo pa ng OJT.
