Are there polite wasy to ask if i got a job?
This is business, not a tea party. Politely inquire if the position you applied for has been filled. If it has not then ask them when you can expect word, one way or the other. If the job has been filled, be silent and let this silence remind them that they have been thoughtless by not calling you. This all will serve two purposes, to get your question answered and to teach them that they should always call a candidate and inform them that a decision has been reached.
What is a polite but direct way to ask about job security?
Hi everyone. I was hired in July of this year to direct (and do everything since i'm the only one) a new program in a bilingual school. The idea of the program is to do complimentary activities in English (i'm in South America) to students of all ages (preschool to 12th grade). Like any new program its going through its growing pains stage and i've had many ups and downs. Things working, things not working, people very unhappy (mostly english teachers) with my presence and feeling threatened (with no reason since i'm not replacing them as a teacher), disagreements, etc. Like all schools here, my temporary contract ends on December 31st and it says "if the employee should continue with her services in the institution, this contract will become permanent".....(roughly translated). My fear is that they decide they dont want me here anymore and they fire me. I would hav a lot of problems if that happened because, like in all other parts of the world, the economy here isn't exactly stable and jobs are lacking. My husband and I are trying to find an apartment but i'm afraid to do that because I don't know if i'll have a job next year. so how do i politely ask if they plan to keep me around? I can't afford to wait. I like my job and if they want me to continue I will gladly do so, but I need a heads up. I don't wanna be blind sided by bad news of "thanks for playing, get out!" and I certainly don't want to have a new bill I cant pay. How can I ask that and who? (the school director or general manager (the one who hired me))? thanks
How to politely quit my job?
Even for a job handling confidential information, that is just plain bizarre and unprofessional. Knowing their policy on giving notice, the best (and most professional) thing you can do is just write them a nice resignation letter. Tell them how great it has been to work there, but a new opportunity has presented itself, and you are leaving. Compliment them and their professionalism. Tell them everything you have learned from your experience. Mention in the letter that your resignation is effective immediately, as per the company's policy. Hand it in at the end of your last day, give everyone a hug, and move on. That's life, and it is not your fault their resignation policy is so weird.
You should be able to estimate it based on the job requirements in the advert, the qualifications required, the reputation of the company, the sector in which it operates and the local market rate for similar jobs. A quick search on recruitment sites should provide most of that information. On the whole companies like to be competitive in the labour marketplace in order to attract the right employees. Of course there are always exceptions.I would also say, that sometimes a job /company that seems to pay less may actually have more prospects than a job / company than pays more. Don’t just be fooled by the salary alone, look at the whole picture such as training and development, staff turnover, growth of the company, how long has it been established …Good luck!
If you are offered a job, what is a polite way to tell the employer that you need time to think about it?
Even though an employer is offering you the job, they will certainly understand if you wanted something better. In some cases, an employer will match/better the offer you received from another company--that is, if you're very qualified and deemed highly valuable to them. It is a courtesy to let the employer know immediately what you're plans are. They took time out to interview you then offer you the job, so it is polite to call them and speak to them about your plans. They may want to move on immediately and find another potential employee. Definitely don't hold them in limbo. They may also respect your decision and will be willing to put things on hold for a short period of time while you decide, but the chances of that are small.
What is a polite way to ask someone to pay me?
They haven't paid you, (basically stealing), and you are worried about being polite? You can ask them as bluntly as you like, don't worry about please and shall, etc. I just want to make you aware that I haven't received my payment for... When will that be deposited/mailed? And your name? Alright I will look for it on ...... Thank you. If it does not arrive, follow up. Talk to a supervisor. Go there if you can. Document everything. Don't have to be rude, not overly polite. Be straightforward and strong.
What is the most polite way to ask for someone to pay you money they owe?
I know why he is doing it. He doesn't want to pay you. I think that he is avoiding you. As you say, he hasn't called you since he got the item (or at least for 2 months). He doesn't answer his phone. I think that, if you can't reach him in person, try texting or emailing and saying that you need the money and would like to have it as soon as possible. If he doesn't respond or puts you off, try again with a specific date you want to be paid. Send him a letter. If he is sick or out of town, cut him some slack. Otherwise, it is very likely you are going to lose a friend. It is no loss because a real friend would pay you for the item, set up a payment plan, and not hide out. If you want your money, you are going to have to ask for it. You might even have to take him to small claims court. Keep copies of all your attempts to reach him, including times when he didn't answer his phone, and any responses you get back from him. That is your evidence. Giving him a $300 item without getting the money right then was just like handing him $300 in cash as a loan. You loan only what you can afford not to get back. Most people will pay you. Others must have the idea that if you can give them that much you have more than they do and they deserve to keep it. Why? I don't know. This situation has nothing to do with who has the money in their pocket or if you are cheap to want it back. If you sold him an item for someone else, pay the other party. That person shouldn't have to wait for his money because you were the one who made the mistake of not getting paid up front. This is an expensive lesson, $300 worth, but might keep you from making an even bigger mistake in the future. Another mistake is to give a loan to someone who already owes you the money. That's like asking not to be paid back.
Salary negotiation is just like any other negotiation, have you ever watched a friend trying to buy a product from a salesman and the conversation goes something like this:Your friend: Excuse me, sir… do you think you might get me a better price for this?Salesperson: No, I can’t because then I won't make any money from this product...Your friend: Okay. (thinking to himself why bother in the first place)When you want to do any negotiation especially salary negotiation you got to come with a strategy on how to convince your potential employer to give you that salary.So here is a strategy I give out for candidates:#1 Keep in mind that you can’t just ask for a higher salary you are going to have to make a case for it… no employer wants to give a higher pay for someone that they don’t know how much of a value he or she is going to so first think to yourself why you are really worth the higher pay. The best would be if you can write down why you are worth this price.#2 Find the number you want to get, lets just say you are making right now 70k a year and you want to go up to 80k don’t come in and say I want to make more than 70 because then you will end up getting 73, rather come in with your fit price or even higher then your fit price.#3 Make your research - this is a very important step don’t come in with numbers that are entirely out of your range because you will never get it instead research what this position should make and tell what number you can push. You can research this on Indeed or Glassdoor.So now, here is how you do it you come in the hiring manager and you start the conversation and the hiring manager asks “John, we really never talked about your salary, roughly how much are we talking about?Your answer: Well, before we go in to that conversation let me first show you what I came up with for this company and how I have a plan of action to implement it.. and after that conversation you start talking about salary and always go for something that you know that the company won't give you and then come back to your original number.Good luck, let me know how it goes!
hummmm….The better/correct way to go about applying =“Hello, your company seems a cool one, and so I am interested to learn more. Would you happen to have any open positions at the moment ? “This means:You compliment the person that you’re talking toYou say that you’re eager to make that connectionIs the company hiring.So the above way is the optimal way to getting a good response from the person you’re talking to.In case of a hesitant answer; remember to ask for the actual right contact person such as the boss, or maybe you’ll want to re-apply by email because there might not be any open positions at this point in time. When they have you “on file” > and when you KEEP IN TOUCH, then you’ll have the best starting position once a job becomes open/free.
Keep your self smiling.Add with the preface “Excuse me” or “If you don't mind”.Intersperse in between with the word “Please” with a pleasing stone.Keep eye to eye contact while asking.Observe closely & appreciate sincerely for the +ve things in them.Ask if they need any help for them, like “What can I do for you?”.Say “Thank you” for even little helps utilized by you.Inherit certain pleasing manners & behaviours with you always like, when you meet even strangers say “Halo”, Openthe door first & keep it open till the last person enters, Getup and offer seat for elders, May I help you mode, etc.Suggest some alternative options also as substitute in case of denial to avoid embarrassment.
