How to answer the question about salary expectations

CV Majster knowledge base

Salary expectations are a standard topic in every recruitment process. Good preparation lets you name a realistic amount that matches the market.

Research the market before the interview. Check salary reports for your position, region and level of experience.

It is always worth giving a salary range instead of one fixed number, which leaves room for negotiation.

Key tips:

  • Decide on your minimum and your satisfying salary before the interview.
  • Give the amount as a range, net or gross.
  • Justify your expectations with your skills and experience.
  • Ask about the other benefits the company offers.
