question by pointing out that salary is not your number one priority and you are sure the salary offered will be a fair one. This technique can actually work wonders. They may even offer you more than what you would have asked for! If you end up being offered the job but the salary is not up to your expectation, that is the time to negotiate. Don't rule yourself out of the running too early in the process. We hope that this information has proven helpful to you during your own interviewing process now or in the future.
