Note: Stick to the thread.
Think most here will surely encounter recruitment agencies in particular
low balling.
In the past I search for job for around a year or so, main obstacle
was that I faced criticized that as a Diploma holder I was earning $2.6k.
Which in fact market rate for Diploma holder was around $1.8k to $2.1k.
Some HR as well as recruitment agencies told this to me that
they do not pay that high for Diploma Holder.
They mention if my expectation salary is $2.6k I should have a Degree and some requested for my payslip to verify that I was indeed drawing $2.6k.
As to many they do not believe a Diploma holder without much working experience or even a Degree shouldn't be drawing that high.
I had one offer $2.3k and tried to negotiate but they mentioned to me that they do not pay Diploma holder too high if I want higher than $2.3k a Degree will be needed.
Finding a job is frustrating to me, make me sound like a contractor going around looking for tender with my intended price of $2.6k.
If you ask me how I got a job that pays $2.6k in the past, I was hired to continue another person employment contract.
Terms and conditions of that employment contract including salary of $2.6k I took over from that person so this is how I got that $2.6k.
Only difference was that the other person had a Degree while I am just a Diploma holder.
