"In my current job, our benefits package is similarly generous as PNC. The retirement package at my current employer is an equal contribution mutual fund that is fully vested in three years. They also have stock options for the company. Currently, I earn XX,XXX a year with pay increases twice a year and a holiday bonus. Projecting what I would be earning a year, I would like my starting point to be somewhere in the range of what I would be earning in a year with my current employer, with similar or higher percentage increases."

They are curious about what value you would place on your professional worth. On their website, they hint that they have a lot to offer, but they expect a lot in return, such as the integrity and sense of teamwork they promote in their culture. PNC states that they are "committed to providing a benefits program that reflects the financial and well-being priorities of our employees as well as our values as a company. We value teamwork, integrity, and quality of life. You can be proud to work at PNC, and we want to help you fulfill your career goals. PNC offers a range of valuable benefits to cover your health care needs (medical, dental and vision) and support you in other areas of your life, now and into the future."

When negotiating your salary, it is preferable to do so face-to-face with a person. When touching on salary with a pre-recorded interview, it is best to assert your professional worth simply by detailing your current and projected salary, offering how frequently you receive pay increases and any benefits or bonuses you receive that are unmatched by the company you are interviewing with. PNC details many of the potential benefits they offer their employees, so familiarize yourself with what they offer so that you can better identify where they fall short.

Before the interview, you want to practice your answers in front of the camera, ensuring you aptly display body language that exudes confidence. Give yourself a pep talk. Do some fast exercises to physically and mentally prepare yourself.
