(2018·通、泰、淮、连、扬、徐、宿三模)At any discussion of a job offer, money or the overall remuneration (报酬) package can be a deal breaker.Negotiating an attractive deal, however, can be hard for many job candidates because they lack the necessary give­and­take skills or simply because they are too concerned that pushing for a good package can cost them the job.
These factors, and many more, certainly can be hurdles (障碍), but it doesn't mean that you give up trying to get the best deal you can get with the opportunity that is almost in your hands.Needless to say, if money isn't a big factor in your decision, you still need to make sure that the deal you're accepting is fair compared to what's offered in the market.Selling_yourself_short once can impact on your future salaries and set you back financially.
Here are common mistakes that many job seekers commit in negotiating money and other perks (津贴)．
Negotiate too early.Timing is of the essence in any negotiation, and negotiating a salary too early in the process can cost you dearly.Many employers, in fact, rank this as one of the biggest mistakes job candidates often make.The timing to begin a salary discussion is after you and your future employer are nearly sure that you've been selected for the position.This gives you an edge — as a selected candidate — to negotiate from a point of strength.However, be mindful of how far this money discussion is from the final decision.
Abandon professionalism.It is common that people, after going through a pretty long recruitment process, can be shocked that the salary offered is significantly below their expectations.If you find yourself in this situation, don't just abandon your professional attitude and lose your temper.This will likely get you nowhere except out the door.
alert怎么读There are two options for this situation: the first is that the employer is inflexible on the budget, and in this case, you may just leave it there and make a graceful exit from the hiring process.The second option is that there is some negotiation room for the hiring manager with other decision makers in the organization.If this is the case, you may be surprised that a final push with a positive attitude and a well­delivered presentation about your skills and market price can get you closer to your expected package.Still, if this is not acceptable, you don't have to take it.
语篇解读：本文是一篇议论文。作者主要就求职者如何进行薪资商定提出了一些看法和建议。
1．What might negotiating money mean to most job seekers in Paragraph 1?
A．The key to landing a job.
B．The chance to get promoted.
C．The demand for being a leader.
D．The reason for high unemployment rate.
解析：选A　推理判断题。根据第一段中的“At any discussion of a job offer, money or the overall remuneration (报酬) package can be a deal breaker”可知，在任何一个工作机会的讨论中，钱或者所有的报酬福利条件可能都会成为一个协议的破坏者，即商讨报酬是成功得到一份工作的关键。故选A。

A．Caring about wages only.
B．Accepting a low­paid job.
C．Refusing other good job offers.

解析：选B　词义猜测题。根据上文的“if money isn't a big factor in your decision, you still need to make sure that the deal you're accepting is fair compared to what's offer
ed in the market”和下文的“once can impact on your future salaries and set you back financially”可知，如果钱不是一个对你做决定影响大的因素，你也要确保你将要接受的待遇相对市场水平而言是公平合理的，轻视自己会影响你未来的薪资水平并使你在经济上落后。由此可知，画线部分在该语境中指的是“接受低薪的工作”。故选B。sell sb./yourself short意为“低估，轻视，小瞧(某人或自己)”。
3．What does the author advise job seekers to do when they negotiate salaries?
A．Put forward their doubts directly.

nearly sure that you've been selected for the position”可知，作者建议求职者要选择合适的薪资商定时间，故选D。
4．What's the author's purpose of writing the passage?
A．To help people apply for jobs more effectively.
B．To help employers find outstanding employees.
C．To help job seekers handle salary negotiation correctly.
D．To help workers avoid some common mistakes in their work.
