It depends on whether the person who is giving the interview is allowed to adjust the starting rate of pay. Most of the time it is pretty much decided from up above the corprate ladder how much a postion is going to pay and there is no way the person at the manager level to adjust said rate no mater the experience or qualifications. There have been times that I have fought for a higher starting pay because I really wanted to hire someone because of their experience but most of the time I am unsucessful.Anyway to partically answer you question. When I am interviewing someone for a salried position at some point in the interview I will inform said interviewee as to what the job pays and then ask if that is acceptable. If it is ok than I continue with the interview and start explaining the benefit package and such. If that starting salary base is not acceptable and they have no basis qualtification wise to expect more than I end the interview right there. If they have a ton of experience or knowledge and I get the sence that they would fit right in to the position, than I will finish the interview and call my superiors and explain the situation and try to get a higher base rate (assuming that it isn't extraordinary higher than what was being offered). Dave, I would find out what other projectionists are making or if you held that position before, what you were making then and keep your salary expections around there (probably less depending on if it is an entry level position, your experience, and the slow economy). Hope that this is a least somewhat helpful.
