"As a new graduate looking to enter the workforce here at Jetstar Airways, I am looking to earn a fair wage for new graduates in the role. I would work hard to prove my worth to your organization over time and advance along the salary range progression based on my work. Can you shed some light on how staff can be expected to increase within the pay range for this job?"

"To be able to move from my current job as a flight attendant, I would need to earn at least equal to my current pay. I think my current pay is fair for the skills and experience I bring. But, I do want you to know that my pursuit of another opportunity here at Jetstar Airways is not motivated by compensation. As we've discussed, workplace culture and a great team atmosphere motivate me the most."

The best way to discuss your salary expectations is to use your current earnings as an example. Be open and honest. Transparency is the best choice when salary-based questions arise. If possible, research general salary ranges for the job you are interviewing for before your interview with Jetstar to ensure that you don't price yourself out of consideration.
