Salary is often commensurate with experience. How do you feel about someone with more experience than you having a higher salary but doing the same job?

"I realize that salaries are often determined by the amount of experience an applicant has. I appreciate the fact that employers recognize experience as a factor in determining pay and am willing to show that I am worthy."

"I don't have a problem with someone who has more experience than me making a higher salary. I respect the experience that others have and know that I will have to prove myself."

"I understand that years of experience are often rewarded with higher earning. I feel, given the chance to demonstrate my knowledge and skills, you will find that I am capable of doing the job as well as some of the more experienced employees. Having said that, I will not turn down an offer of employment because of a difference in pay based on my present lack of experience. With that in mind, what benefits are available for someone coming on board with your company with my resume?"

"I believe this is completely appropriate and I respect this order within the healthcare industry. In my opinion it only makes sense that an individual with several years or potentially decades of experience would have a higher salary than someone who is just starting out in the nursing field."
