Sample answer:

In your job description, you are looking for a candidate with a master's degree in biotechnology and 3 years industry experience. I hope you consider the fact that my skills and experiences meet your highest standards. Therefore I would expect a salary at the high end of your pay range for this job. Is it possible for you to give me some indication of your range?

Tip for answering this question:

  • It is best to turn this question back on the employer by asking what the salary is for the position.
  • Ask the employer how your qualifications rate compared to the requirements of the position.
