www.fired.tv This week’s job tip is how to handle the salary question? This often takes the form of the employer asking you how much money you are looking for. The best answer is, “I’m open on the money, the key is the opportunity.” The reason is whenever you state a specific amount (esp. in the first interview) our research shows that it is usually either too high or too low.
