One of the toughest questions to answer in any job interview is, what are your salary expectations? Discussing salary can be awkward, but it doesn’t have to be! In this quick training lesson, I am going to reveal the number 1 best way to get the salary you deserve.

There are 2 reasons why the hiring manager will ask you the question, what are your salary expectations?
Reason number one is that they want to hire someone who fits in with their budget – the hiring manager will already know the salary they are prepared to pay for the right candidate. Soon, I will tell you how you can find out what the hiring manager is prepared to pay.

And reason number two why they will ask the question, “What are your salary expectations?”, is because they want to find out if you know your worth. Anyone can say in a job interview, “I want a salary of $70,000”, but you will never get that salary unless you explain why you are worth that amount.

That is why there are 3 things you must say in your answer to get the highest salary. Let me tell you what they are… write these down:

1. Tell the hiring manager you have RESEARCHED THE SALARY RANGE for your role and industry. This tells them you know what the going rate is for someone in this position. Their budget will fall within that salary range. You can find out the salary range for any role and industry on the website GlassDoor.com or by asking ChatGPT.

2. Tell the hiring manager what your desired salary is. My advice is to ask for a salary slightly below the higher end of the salary range. For example, if the range were $55,000 and $64,000, I would ask for $63,000.

#3. Tell the hiring manager WHY you are worth your desired salary – this is important. You can mention any of these 4 things to prove your worth:

(1) Previous strong work performance that impacted your employer positively.
“In my previous role, I worked on a team that secured a lucrative sales contract for our employer.”

(2) Ideas you put forward in previous roles that resulted in revenue growth.
“In my last role, I suggested upsell opportunities that increased the average sales transaction by 18%.

(3) Examples of going above and beyond to help your employer.
“In my last role, I stayed behind late after work when needed to support business operations, and I volunteered to help train new co-workers.”

(4) Unique or in-demand skills, certification or experience that make you valuable.
“I bring technical certifications and expertise that will help the business increase market share.”

OK, let me now give you the first of my 3 recommended answers to the question, WHAT ARE YOUR SALARY EXPECTATIONS? I will show you how to answer the question in a real interview. Tell me in the comments which answer option, 1, 2 or 3, you think is the strongest. Here’s answer option number 1.

The second method involves not asking for a specific salary until you are offered the job. This is a psychological trick that tells the hiring manager you are value-focused as opposed to money-focused. This is a smart method to consider using, and it is perfect for those candidates who do not feel confident asking for a specific salary. Here’s the answer in a real interview:

ANSWER OPTION 2 06:45

The 3rd option is to put the onus on the hiring manager to disclose the salary range they have set for the role. Again, this tells them that your focus is on adding value first, as opposed to having a set salary amount you would be prepared to work for!
