In many states, it is now illegal for hiring authorities to ask about your current earnings. A question like this will give the interviewer a solid idea of what you are hoping to earn. The best way to discuss your salary expectations is to use your current earnings as an example if you are comfortable doing so. If this makes you uncomfortable, give as many indicators as you can. Be open and honest. Transparency is the best choice when salary based questions arise. If you are new to your career or the area and are unsure of what amount is fair, many reliable salary calculators are available online.

As I am 29 years old I know I fall under the mature apprentice category. I am so driven to enter this field I would be happy to enter a position at the minimum wage for a mature apprentice.
