How should you reply if an interviewer asks about the salary you are expecting?

Answer

If its your first job, say that experience comes first rather than salary though it is important. But what you want to acquire is first hand experience and salary is only 1 piece of the package.What is important to you is that you enjoy what you are, fit in the corporate structure and grow professionally with the company.

hope this helps!

Answer

You can always say something like, "Well, there are certainly a few factors to consider. Could you tell me more about what will be expected of me in this job?"

I would recommend, though, that you do your research before the interview. Ask around. Check out Labour Market Information for that specific job. See what most people are being payed for doing your job, or one similar to it.
