The question of salary can certainly make or break a job interview and negotiations. The more knowledge you have about the position, the average salary for that position and what you are worth, the better equipped you will be to address that question. Once armed with information, you are set to give an accurate salary range for the position for which you are applying. Keep in mind that you have the most bargaining power after you’ve impressed your prospective employer and before you’ve accepted the position.
