Callum Borshers: 我认为,即使公司声称提供的是“最终”报价,也不意味着完全没有谈判空间。虽然基本工资可能难以变动,但仍有其他方面可以协商,例如职位头衔、工作地点灵活性、奖金、休假时间以及职业发展计划。重要的是要以积极合作的态度与雇主沟通,展现出解决问题的意愿,并明确自身的需求和底线。我建议求职者在谈判前充分了解市场行情,并确定自己能接受的最低工资标准,以便在谈判中更有底气。 Arianna Aspuru: 我觉得现在的就业市场与几年前大不相同。过去,求职者可以轻松获得多个工作机会,但现在公司更倾向于采取强硬的“要么接受,要么离开”的态度。因此,我认为求职者需要更加灵活和务实,不要一味地坚持薪资要求,而是要考虑其他方面的福利和发展机会。同时,我也理解在就业市场不景气的情况下,人们常常认为能得到工作机会就应该感到幸运,但适当的谈判仍然是必要的,可以为自己争取更好的待遇和发展前景。
