I am currently on minimum wage, and I am happy to progress into a great career opportunity at the same wage.
Amanda's Feedback
I appreciate your straightforward answer, but this question usually requires a bit more finesse. You can improve your answer by eliminating your current wage information. Instead, assure the interviewer that you have a flexible salary range, but that you'd like to be compensated appropriately based on your experience and performance record. It may be more appropriate to provide a specific number when you're discussing the details of the position or when you receive an offer. You can also ask the interviewer to share what the range is for the role.
