Job Interview Questions and Answers
Question 50: Why should we pay you the salary you're requesting?
Answer this question by convincing the interviewer that you deserve the salary you're requesting. The best way to do this is to point out how you have benefited your past employers in terms of increasing profit, reducing expenses, improving efficiency, etc.
Good answer: "Last year I exceeded my annual sales quota by $500,000 and gross profit by 30 percent. I achieved over $3.5 million in sales in a two year period setting a company record for most new accounts created in one quarter. I intend to bring in much more each year for your company than I will earn. Therefore, I believe this is a very fair salary."
