MediClinic was initially looking for someone with five years of experience in a similar role. Considering you have just two years of experience, would you be willing to accept this position at a lower salary?

"I would be happy to earn my way to the top compensation level if I were fortunate enough to join MediClinic. I assure you that, despite my being a couple of years short of your desired experience, I am a top performer, and you will not be disappointed in my performance. Being young in my career, I fully understand why salary ranges exist and that senior staff who have been in their careers longer, with more experience, are higher on the scale."

"I understand I do not quite meet the qualifications of experience you are looking for and am willing to be compensated in adjustment to that fact. However, I look forward to proving my worth to MediClinic in hopes of being considered for the median salary for the role down the road."

If a pay range is mentioned in the job description, you already know what MediClinic is willing to offer. Using their pay range as an example will help you determine what compensation you would like based on your two years of experience.
