Do you feel that you are currently paid what you are worth?

Many employees will seek new work if they feel underpaid and underappreciated. Talk to the interviewer about your current situation and whether or not you think it is fair while withholding the actual salary you make.

If you feel you are currently paid what you are worth: 'I feel that my current employer pays me fairly; however, I would like to see an increase in pay with an increase in responsibilities.'

If you do not feel you are currently paid what you are worth: 'I know I am underpaid compared to my industry colleagues. Our school board is small, and they do what they can, but this is part of why I am seeking a new position.'
