SALARY AND BENEFITS
DO NOT bring up the subject of salary or benefits DURING AN INTERVIEW.
 
A.  Initiating a discussion on salary/benefits identifies you as a person who is motivated
only by money.
B.  On the company’s employment application, leave the section for desired salary
BLANK.
C.  If the employer asks what you’re currently earning be honest and specific.
D.  If the employer asks what your salary requirements are, your response should be, “I
currently earn in the $___________ range, and I would expect a fair offer”.
E.  Specifying a desired salary is likely to underprice/overprice you, and/or impede your
ability to negotiate the best possible offer.
