In this recession time, she wants me to work voluntarily for 3 months and then after 3 months she will decide to pay me between 6 to 8 $ an hour based on my performance. She also said that if I stay long enough, she will handover the office to me and retire (a typical Canadian tatic of trying to cheat an immigrant)

This is also an opportunity to do some salary negotiation. Perhaps you could have outlined your qualifications and years of experience and negotiated a starting salary at the same as your previous job for 3 months and then if she liked your work to raise you a few dollars/hour.

Most job seekers feel that in this economy they dont have negotiating power. Check this article out:

here is the article:

In the midst of the recession crisis, if you have got a job offer in hand, you are plain lucky. However, to hold on to it, be very careful about negotiating your salary. Companies have become very conservative about salaries and as such, their paying capacity has gone down. There is so much competition out there that even a small mistake can lead you to the loss of opportunity. Here are some tips to help you negotiate a better salary for yourself:



Know your real worth: Invest time in researching about salaries earned by people from a similar background in your industry and the company you are going to join. You may use the Shine Salary tool for the same. Research will help you understand the salary trends that your industry is witnessing after recession and calculate your real worth. This will give you an idea about what salary you can ask for and expect to get.


Work on your timing: Ensure that your timing is perfect. Do not start negotiating as soon as you get the offer. Take some time from the recruiter to analyse the offer. This not only gives you time to think about the offer but also gives an impression that the amount you quote is well thought about. Starting your negotiation as soon as you get the offer makes you look impulsive. Also, ensure that the hiring managers are in a good mood when you start and try and take up different components of the salary package separately.


Analyse the complete package: Instead of just focusing on the in-hand salary or gross salary, look at the complete package objectively. There may be many other benefits that may make up for a lesser in-hand salary than you expected. These benefits include health benefits, tax benefits, flexible work timings etc. In fact, it is quite possible that the company may not be ready to pay too much cash in these troubled times. If the company is not ready to budge after a certain point, you can try negotiating on the benefits to get a better overall package.


Know the limits: Your research would have given you your real worth. Try to negotiate around the same figure. You can try giving a range and then asking the recruiters to decide. But, ensure that you stay within your limits. If the expectations are too high, the company may just decide not to hire you. Similarly, also understand that companies are in a cost cutting mode and paying too much will be out of the question for them. Do not act difficult. Be firm but know the limits.


Chart out a win-win situation for both the company and yourself: Remember that salary negotiation is not a competition between you and the hiring manager. It is a discussion to reach a salary package that works for both the parties. So, when negotiating, always keep the company perspective in mind. Start at a higher point, but know how low you will stop. Ensure that you get your worth and it does not look outrageous to the company either.


Negotiation is a skill that you perfect over time. But, at this time, even applying this skill may make you fall flat on your face. Instead, try to be logical and negotiate for an overall good salary package, not just money you get in hand. Be tactful and you will definitely get what you deserve.
