How to negotiate the ‘salary issue’

Don’t be ashamed if you’re reading this. Negotiating your salary just means that you’re practical and down-to-earth when considering your career and there’s nothing wrong with that.
When negotiating your salary, you need to keep a few tips in mind:

Know your worth
Have a comparison list with you in the interview. Write out the requirements for the job, as listed in the advertisement. Add any extra skills you believe are important for the role. Compare what you can offer with what the company needs.

Timing is important
Think of the timing and importance of the things you want to negotiate, and acknowledge that some things are not negotiable. Pushing in the wrong direction will not help your cause.

Look at the whole package subjectively
Some companies have their hands tied when it comes to salary, but may have a number of other benefits that will raise your overall remuneration to a figure that meets your expectations. Consider all the benefits combined.

Work towards a win-win situation
When negotiating your salary, squeezing every last penny out of your future employer will not get the relationship off on the best footing. Remember that you will most likely be working with the person you are negotiating your salary with. Be prepared to compromise. It’s important that the outcome of the negotiation is a win-win situation.

Know your limits
Sometimes no amount of negotiation will get you what you want. If it does not meet your needs, it is time to stop rather than end up with the wrong deal. Be as upfront as possible, so that the interviewer knows exactly what you are looking for.

So negotiate your salary package and feel content in your workplace. After all, most of your day is spent there, you wanna make it count!

Timer funcitons in JavaScript: Reminder Script

Timers are used in web pages and we will discuss how to setup one and how to use one with an example. The function setTimeout() in function is used and here is its general syntax. mytime = setTimeout(expression, msec); mytime  is the identifier used to identify the current timeout function.  expression  is the statement that is to be executed after the specified time has ticked off.  msec  is the duration of time in milliseconds after which the expression will be executed.  You can see by using setTimeout function we can execute any function or object after a set of time. For example if msec is set 5000 then the expression will be executed after 5 seconds or 5000 milliseconds.  We will try one example where we will have four period buttons and each button will set a different time for another function to execute and display a alert button. We will call it as a reminder script and we will get one alert box based on the period button we click...

Real time changing Clock showing date and time

We can display a clock which will be showing the local time of the client computer by using JavaScript. Note that this time displayed is taken from user computer and not from the server.  We have seen in our  date object example how to display current date and time   where the current date and time is displayed once. Here we will try to display changing clock or real time change in date and time by using  setTimeout function . This setTimeout function we have used to trigger the time display function in a refresh rate of 1000 mill seconds ( 1 Sec ). This refresh rate can be changed to any other value. By changing the value to 5000 the clock will refresh and show the exact time once in every 5 seconds.  Here is the demo of this script and code is given below that.  Sat Apr 23 2016 08:27:22 GMT+0530 (IST)   Here is the code <html> <head> <title>(Type a title for your page here)</title> <script type="text/javascript...
