32. If offered this role as a nurse practitioner with our organization, do you have any salary requirements?
How to Answer
When asked about your salary expectations, the best thing you can do is be open and honest about what you are currently earning and where you want to be in the future. But you definitely don't want to price yourself out for the role. Before applying for this position, you should conduct as much research as possible on the pay scale that this organization offers for their NP's to ensure that it aligns with your expectations. Sometimes, the pay scale is listed on the job posting on the organization's career site, and sometimes you may have to do some further digging online or with current staff members at the organization. In the end, be sure that your needs align with the position this organization is offering.
