Discussing salary in a recorded interview is less than ideal. You'll want to be definitive without closing the negotiation. This question commonly comes up towards the end of an interview to gauge your self-awareness of how the interview has gone. Additionally, how you rate your professional worth can be revealing. The best way to discuss your salary expectations is through transparency and simply presenting it with the facts. Use your current earnings as a baseline. Share any perks, insurance, bonuses, or incentives you receive. From there, contrast your current earnings with where you feel you are on your career path to where your ultimate career goals are heading. That should give them a reasonable expectation of what you are looking for from your future employer. When presenting the facts in this manner, nothing you say could undermine your confidence, and it keeps the dialogue open.

Remember to practice. Before the interview, go into a private space with a mirror, look yourself in the eye, and give yourself a pep talk. Pump yourself up with physical exercise to manifest confidence. A confident person takes up more space. Someone who is intimidated makes themselves small. So raise your arms, stretch your back, and make yourself as big as possible before the interview. Perform your research on the body language of a confident and relaxed person. Make eye contact, smile, and pretend you are talking to a person. Keep it natural.
