Sample Interview Questions: Salary

Your interviewer may ask salary-related questions up front, but try to avoid or defer these questions until much later in the interview process:

1. What were you making at your last job?

2. What is your salary history? 

3. What would be an adequate reward for your efforts? 

4. Have you ever been refused a salary increase? 

5. What are your financial needs? 

6. What is the minimum salary you would accept? 

7. How do you feel about leaving the benefits at your old company? 

8. What is more important - money or the job itself? Why?
