For some jobs – typically experienced-hire positions – you’ll be asked about your salary expectations. Find out what a typical salary would be for the job in question, then ask for 10 percent more.  This is particularly important when you’re starting your career – the difference of a few thousand when you’re 21 can turn into 20, 30 or 40 thousand difference later in your career, commented Dr Sue Black computer scientist and tech sector figure, who is contributing to Norrie Johnston’s work.
