QUESTION 12 OF 27

What are your benefits expectations?

Columnists often get benefits other than salary for doing the job, such as a computer to do their work on, a car or gas stipend for driving, and parking. The candidate should talk to the interviewer about benefits they hope to receive based on the job they will be doing.

"Since I have to commute into the city each day for work, I would like to have my parking paid for, since this is too much money to spend on parking each day."
