Ben’s Job Search Resource: Opposite Jobs What is your opposite job? Find Your Dream Job Listener Question: Salary Answers This week’s question comes from listener Leah Pancheri in Portland, Oregon. “Oftentimes jobs will have a salary posted, but then they will ask either on the application or in the interview about salary "requirements" or ‘expectations’... how do we best answer this question when we clearly know what they posted? What if we feel we are worth a little more, or that the job sounds like it's worth paying a little more after the interview? I'd love some suggestions/insight on the most tactful and respectful way to answer the question.” These segments are sponsored by Mac’s new book, Land Your Dream Job Anywhere.
