If salary is your top priority, that's totally okay, but there are a few things to keep in mind so you don't accidentally price yourself out of the market. Here are some tips: ·     Do your homework: Be realistic about your salary expectations by doing thorough research. Don’t just rely on what a couple of friends say or focus on the highest figure you hear. Make sure you understand where salaries actually stand in the market. ·     Be cautious with exceptions: It’s easy to get caught up in stories like “my friend is making XYZ,” but remember, they might be an exception to the rule. Maybe they were brought in to fix a particularly tough situation or finish a distressed project. Don’t base your worth on these outliers. ·     Look beyond the pay: Think about why you deserve a certain salary beyond just what others are making. Be ready to explain what you bring to the table and why it's valuable to the company. ·     Highlight your unique strengths: What do you offer that goes beyond the standard role requirements? Be sure to emphasise what makes you stand out. ·     Use real examples: Talk about specific achievements from your last project and how they benefited the company. Performance-related arguments carry a lot of weight. ·     Consider the market: If the market is slow, aiming for a sky-high salary might put you at risk if cuts need to be made. Sometimes, a slightly lower salary might be better in the long run if it means job security. ·     Have backup options: If your salary expectations aren’t realistic, think about other benefits that matter to you, like extra leave. These can make your overall package more attractive. In the end, you need to prove your value and show that you're worth the exceptional package you're after. There’s a difference between good interviews and exceptional ones, and it’s the latter that lands the salary you want. So, think not just about the tasks you've done, but what you’ve achieved and how to clearly articulate that value. What have you done well? What have you exceeded expectations on? #salarynegotiation #constructionjobs #ConstructionPeople

Want to be noticed in the job market? Want to stand out from the crowd? Then you need to display attitude and aptitude in your approach to gaining industry experience and knowledge, especially if you’re at the cadet stage. Aim to take on a proactive attitude during education and search out opportunities for work placement and internships within organisations that are relevant to your degree. Familiarise yourself with your university job board which post regular work experience opportunities for students. Reach out to industry personnel via LinkedIn or simply pick up the phone and start making calls to organisations in your field of study to see what hands-on experience they can offer you. But practical experience alone is not enough; you also need to embody a high level of theoretical knowledge. Anyone can go to university and obtain a degree. But it takes a good attitude and aptitude to really apply yourself to your studies and nail it. A set of strong grades could be the defining factor between you landing the job over someone else. Why? Because not only does it show potential employers you have a strong theoretical knowledge of the industry it also shows you have an aptitude for working hard which has allowed you to achieve those grades. It’s important for cadets to remember that companies will be evaluating you on who you are as a person, not just on the basis that you went to university and obtained a degree. Demonstrating a strong attitude and aptitude whilst studying will open doors for you as you transition into the industry. #ConstructionPeople #constructionindustry #constructionjobs
