Morning,
As mentioned in another thread I have just completed 8 x weeks garden leave, and as of last week found myself technically unemployed (for the first time since 1995).
Anyway, I had a successful interview with a new-ish start up company yesterday and found out late last night that the CEO wants to meet me later today in their offices with "a view to making an offer".
So far so good, the chap who interviewed me yesterday had only joined the company 5 weeks ago, but I've done my background on the owners, Company House checks etc and they appear to be financially sound.
Something is nagging at the back of my mind, in that it's all happening a little too quickly if that makes sense?
Now to my point, the job was advertised on LinkedIn @ £x/annum + car, 28 days leave, pension and crucially profit share and during the 1st interview salaries were not discussed.
I want the job, as I think it will be an exciting opportunity, getting in early and knuckling down in a growing market so how do I play the 'salary' question?
Do I either go in armed with my last P60 and prove last year's earnings or listen to what they offer and then try to negotiate? I am not so good at BS or blagging and don't have any other offers on the table, but I do know my market value
Thoughts, and finally I should expect an official offer in writing, correct?
How would you play it?
