Even though you may have gone through a phone screening that involved answering questions about salary, the subject may come again as the interviewer becomes more interested in hiring you. At this point the interviewer wants to know whether they can “afford you.” This is a very tricky part of the interview and could even break your chances of getting the job. Tread lightly and protect your information is the rule.
Here are some sample questions and answers to assist you in formulating your own answers to questions about salary during the interview. Some of the answers are stronger than others and some will fit certain situations better than others. You will want to use your own words to answer this type of question however these examples will provide words to use that may be more affective in answering these difficult questions.
Q. “What are Your Salary Expectations?”
A#1 – “I was making $60,000 at my last job, plus bonuses. I would be expecting at least that and a 15-20% increase.:
(This is not a good answer)
A#2 – “I’m sure whatever you offer will be a fair amount for a person with my qualifications. Salary is not the most important factor to me. I’m looking for opportunity.”
(This is a somewhat weak answer)
A#3 – “I really need more information about the job before we start to discuss salary. I’d like to postpone that discussion until later. Maybe you could tell me what is budgeted for the position, and how your commission structure works.”
(This is the best answer)

That first impression can be a great beginning, or a quick ending to your interview. Three areas of performance, that should be considered dangerous and deadly:
1. Poor non-verbal communication image
- Show confidence by believing in yourself and showing it. (head held high – shoulders back)
- Good eye contact is essential. (Note the color of the interviewer’s eyes.)
- Connect with a good, firm handshake. (No limp noodles or bone crushers wanted)
- Posture is a key indicator of confidence. Sit and stand erect. (Slumping = lazy attitude.)

By admin, on March 28th, 2013  Stop using your .edu email address By senior year, if you haven’t already done so, you should stop using your .edu email address on application materials. Some universities deactivate your email accounts shortly after graduation. Moreover, you want employers to become accustomed to contacting you at your non-college address and thinking of you as a new professional, not a college student.
- Of course, be sure the email is professional in nature, for example, first.lastname@gmail.com.
- In case you’ve been using something like hottiehot@email.com for the last four years, you may also want to start using a more professional-sounding email address.
- If you have already started sending out resumes and cover letters with a college email address on it, this could be a good reason to follow up with those employers with an updated resume.
- Remember to set up an email forwarder on any email accounts that you may have used in the past to ensure you don’t miss responses from potential employers.
