Cover Letter for Pharma Jobs
There are two ways to raise your salary issues when you receive a job offer from a new company. You can either call the concerned manager, or you can choose to negotiate by writing a salary negotiation letter. Both the ways of negotiation are accepted in the industry. If you prefer letter, then make sure you give a proper reason and convince the employer sensibly in accepting your demand. In reality, there is no standard rule or a formula in writing the salary negotiation letter, but if you follow certain standards, it is likely that the employers may accept your demand. Here are some guidelines you will find useful in writing the letter.
As a general rule, every professional cover letter should first start with something good that may help the reader to control the effect he/she is likely to receive from the following paragraph. Therefore, state the good things by showing your interest for the position in the first paragraph. Tell them you are happy to receive the job offer, and you are eager to join the job. Express your confidence in performing the job for the benefit of the company. Mentions things you would want to take care about in your new job.
Now, get down to the business and write the amount stated on the offer letter. Then put your counter offer followed by the statement that justifies your demand. Talk about what you did for your previous employer. Whether it is saving money for the company, or generating new income sources, repeating these qualities would remind the employer about your qualities. Here, the need is to support your demand for the salary hike.
You can further extend your paragraph keeping its length to one page, and try to negotiate other issues such as traveling allowances, medical insurances, dearness allowances, etc. if there is any need for it. However, each issue you would be raising should be supported with a statement. Try to include those things that are necessary in joining the job. Otherwise, the employers may feel that you are expecting more than the job profile.
