"I am newer to my lifeguarding career, so I performed some research on the topic, hoping to gain an understanding of the average pay for a receptionist in this area. The ranges I saw were 11-14/hour depending on experience. Do you have an amount in mind for this position?"

This question is merely another way for the interviewer to ask about your desired pay for this role. Be honest about what you are hoping to make, but you should also avoid asking for too little, or for too much. Using an online salary calculating tool, like the ones from Glassdoor or Indeed, will help you to determine the average ask for your position, years of experience, and even location. You can also use your current salary as part of the basis for your ask.

"I am currently earning 15/hour and am up for a raise to 16/hour in the next couple of months. My ideal salary is 17-19/hour plus health benefits, which I believe is a fair ask for this role."

Honestly, this is going to be my first job in the U.S. I would say you decide what's best and fair depending on my experiences.
Rachelle's Feedback
Try to do some research before your interview, using an online salary tool such as payscale.com. You do not want to sell yourself short. Confirm the excellent skills you bring and ask for what you need.
"I researched the average pay for a lifeguard in this area and believe that 18-22 per hour is the median wage. Because I bring lifeguard and divemaster certifications, along with my expertise as a diving coach in the Philippines, I am seeking compensation in the 20-22 per hour range."
