如果你在梦想的公司中获得一份更好的工作，可能会让你马上答应接受这份工作。但是千万不要马上这么做！许多公司经理期待有前途的职员能商谈他们自己的福利问题，就算获得每个月小小数目的工资提高在长期来看也是很好的回报。这有一些用英语商谈你的薪水的窍门。

If you’re offered a much-desired position at the company of your dreams, it may be tempting to agree to the offer right away. But don’t! Many managers expect perspective employees to negotiate their package, and even negotiating a small amount per month can offer big returns in the long run. Here are some tips for negotiating your salary in English.

 

Thank you for your offer.

      无论你的决定如何并且你的福利情况如何，确定你表示你的感谢。你可以通过这样的短语表示，〝I appreciate your consideration〞和〝I am honored that you have selected me.〞。

No matter what your decision and what the package, make sure you give your thanks. You may also want to offer phrases such as, “I appreciate your consideration” and “I am honored that you have selected me.”

 

Hmm...

      一旦你对达到的工作和薪水表示出极大的兴趣和满意度的话那就很难商谈你的福利问题了，因此最好能在一开始的时候就谈论到你的福利问题。不说：〝OK〞，而是在你听到薪水的数字时，说：〝Hmmm...〞。这样就能让雇佣你的经理了解到你并不是非常满意这个数字而是可能需要更进一步的谈论。

It’s often difficult to negotiate an offer once you’ve shown extreme interest in the job and satisfaction in the salary, so it’s best to start at the beginning. Instead of saying, “OK”, when you hear the salary figure, say “Hmmm...” This lets the hiring manager know you aren’t quite satisfied and can lead to immediate negotiations.9

 

Based on my current salary...

      给出一个你期待更多薪水的理由。可能是以你现有薪水为基础的，其他的工作机会或是你最近了解到有关你从事领域的基本薪资调查等。用这样的句子结束：〝I had something a little higher in mind〞或是〝I was expecting something within the $15,000 to $20,000 range.〞。

Give a reason for your higher expectations. Maybe it’s based on your current salary, other job offers or statistics you’ve recently read about your field. Finish up the sentence with, “I had something a little higher in mind” or “I was expecting something within the $15,000 to $20,000 range.”

 

Can I let you know my final decision on Monday?

      雇佣你的经理当然会给你一些压力，特别是当他们真的非常需要你的时候，但是不要马上就决定。请求几天的余地来考虑一下你的决定。你可以加上：〝I’m very interested in your company, but this will give me some time to make a more informed decision.〞。

Hiring managers have been known to put the squeeze on, especially if they really want you, but don’t rush into decisions. Request at least several days to think through the decision. You can add, “I’m very interested in your company, but this will give me some time to make a more informed decision.”

 

I’ll take it!

      当需要最后的决定时，这是一个非常有趣而且友善的方式来接受工作。如果你脑海中还有更正式的表达的方式，就可以说：〝I’d like to formally accept your  of fer.〞。但是，如果你并不想接受这份工作的话，就可以说：〝After much consideration, I’m afraid I won’t be able to accept your offer.〞，注意一定要给出正确的回答，并一定要礼貌！

When it comes down to the final decision, this is a fun and friendly way to accept an offer. If you had something more formal in mind, say “I’d like to formally accept your offer.” If, on the other hand, you don’t want the job, say, “After much consideration, I’m afraid I won’t be able to accept your offer.” Be sure to always give an answer, and always be polite!
