Salary-based questions can be very uncomfortable for many job seekers. Luckily, you can alleviate some of this discomfort by performing research on the typical wage of an Admin Assistant in your region and with your level of experience.
A great way to approach this salary question is to have a clear idea of what you want to earn, what you need to make, what your minimum threshold is, and what the market is telling you about the admin market in your region. By understanding your ask, you will give the hiring company a solid idea of what you want to see in a competitive job offer. If you are newer to your career, or the area, and are unsure of what a fair ask may be, there are many reliable salary calculators available online.
