Q I HAVE been offered a job with my dream employers but the pay isn't what I expected. Will I blow my chances by asking for a pay rise? - Ryan, Glasgow.

A THE fact they have offered you a post tells you they value your skills. The initial offer may not be their final one. You can ask if there is room for manoeuvre without jeopardising your chances.
