面試的時候，薪水期望是不可避免要被問到的問題。回答的太直接、要求的太高可能會讓公司對你望而卻步，要求的太少又會讓自己難以實現理想的薪水目標。那麼，該如何回答這樣的問題呢？下面兩個案例可以給您一些啟發。
Case One
Interviewer: I'd like to know the salary you expect.
我想了解一下，你期望的薪水是多少？
Applicant: My salary requirement may be too high, and I hope my primary will not be lower than RMB 4,000. First, I think I am an excellent graduate. Though there will be a transition period, I will soon make profits for the company. What's more, I think if a company is willing to pay a high salary for a post, it also indicates its importance. And only in this situation can I be convinced that I can get more learning opportunities and better prospects.
我的薪酬要求可能偏高，我希望我的起薪不低於4000元。首先我認為自己是一名優秀的大學畢業生，雖然剛到企業需要一段過渡期，但很快我就能為企業創造價值。而且，我也認為,一個企業如果可以開出較高的薪水，可以證明企業對這個職位的重視度。在這樣的情況下，我才有信心能從企業獲得更多的.學習機會和更好的發展機遇。
Case Two
Interviewer: I'd like to know your salary expectations.
我想了解一下，你期望的薪水是多少？
Applicant: Since I am a recent graduate , there will be a transition period after I enter the company. So at the beginning, the profits I make for the company will be limited and I don't have specific requirements. But man has to survive. So I hope the salary will be enough to help me to be economically independent from my parents.
因為我是一個剛畢業的大學生，進入企業將有一段時間的適應期，一開始為企業創造的價值有限，所以我對薪金沒有特定的要求。但人總是要生存的，所以，我希望我的薪金能夠讓我獨立，在經濟上不再依賴父母。
