A potential employer may base their offer on your current salary. If you are unhappy with your current salary, be prepared with a detailed explanation. If you are looking for an increase, research offers for similar positions in your area based on similar years of experience. Detail additional benefits with your current employer, or which benefits you are looking to receive in this new position (time off, paid holidays, insurance, continuing education opportunities, etc.)
"I am currently earning a base salary of 78,000 with the additional opportunity for performance incentives. I also receive benefits including short-term and long-term disability, medical, dental, and vision insurance. I am looking for a competitive salary in my next position."
"I am looking for a position with an employer with opportunities for personal and professional growth. In addition to salary and benefits, I also receive an equipment stipend and reimbursement for continuing education."
