QUESTION 16 OF 29

What are your salary expectations?

Foreign correspondents often make a healthy salary because they are some of the more experienced reporters in the industry, and also have to move far away. Foreign correspondents make on average between 80,000-120,000, depending on their level of experience, the company they are working for, and where they are being relocated to. The candidate should take this time to discuss what they hope to make in salary and come to an agreement with the interviewer.

"Since I have been working as a journalist and have been reporting on international relations for multiple years, I am highly qualified for this job and hope to make between 90,000-100,000 so I can sustain a life abroad."
