Focus on Interviews – The Salary Question

Focus on playing fair

Interviewers will likely discuss compensation during your conversation. If you live in a state with a salary history ban, you do not have to disclose your pay from prior jobs.

Focus on the pay range

Prepare for interviewers to ask about your target salary. Ask the interviewer to share the pay range before you offer a specific figure (unless the job posting already lists it). Here is a sample response to the salary question:

I expect my compensation to align with my skill set, experience, and job responsibilities. What is the salary range for this position?

This response prompts the interviewer to reveal the salary range, establishing a strong baseline for your negotiations.
