Makokha advised shortlisted candidates to ensure they have researched the typical pay for the positions they will be interviewing for and be ready with a salary range that reflects the market trends.
“Back up your range with reasons that justify your value, such as your experience, skills, or achievements. Always end with a statement like, ‘I am open to discussion’, to indicate willingness to negotiate and keep the conversation open,” Makokha said.
