Q:  I'm having problems answering a certain question on an interview. First, what do I say when they ask me "why should we hire you; why do you want to work for us. what salary range are you looking for?
A: You need to demonstrate that you've done your "homework." That you know a lot about the company and what value you would add to the team. This involves researching the organization as well as identifying the skills and experience you would bring to the table. As far as salary goes, tell the interviewer that you are looking for a salary in the range that is commensurate with the job opportunity. Do some homework on that count too!


Q:  My six month review is approaching at my current job. When I accepted the position my understanding was that it consisted of accounting functions only. However, since I have been there, I have become Payroll Manager, Facilities Manager, Parking Monitor, Computer Consultant, etc. While I enjoy the challenge of these different jobs, I feel that I am not being properly compensated for them. My problem is that I would like a better idea of how to calculate my worth to the company by performing these diverse functions. Do you have any ideas, or web sites that could help me?
A: Since your contributions are so diverse, you may find it helpful to compare your salary to that of a consultant with such a diverse span of activities.
