Interview Questions - Salary

In this post, you will find some of the possible job interview questions on salary and how to negotiate your salary to make a successfull job interview.

Interview Questions:

  • What kind of salary would you require to accept this position?

  • What kind of salary do you believe you will be earning after five years?

  • What kind of salary do you think you deserve?

  • What salary are you seeking?


  • Salary Negotiation

  • Research salaries in your field. Contact your professional association to find out what other people are paid for doing the same work.


  • Be Flexible. When going through a salary negotiation you may not be getting the exact amount of money you deserve. You might have to compromise. You need to handle the stituation carefully. Decide how much you are willing to compromise and what you will do if your boss doesn't offer you a salary you want.


  • Do not include your salary history on your resume.


  • Do not lie about your previous salary. Employers can often verify your salary history by contacting your previous employers.


  • Do not talk about how much money you need. When you are going through salary negotiations, don't tell your hiring manager that you need to make more money because your phone bills are high, your house was expensive, or your son is starting a professional course.
