      What You Need to Know

      The interviewer would like to know what you are currently earning so they can make a competitive offer when the time comes.

      This is a very concise and straightforward answer to the question. Good start! Consider providing the interviewer with your annual salary, as opposed to the hourly salary. Also, be sure to highlight any other remuneration or benefits that are included with the salary, and use full sentences in your response, to ensure the interview has a complete understanding of your thoughts. In the "Revised Answer" section, I have included a suggested way to restate this response.
      "I am currently earning a base salary of $26,260, plus health benefits. I am looking for a competitive salary in my next position."
