when you get an offer of employment...it means they want you...now you say what you want in order to work there

Interviews are a give and take process. It's not for the prospective employer to do all the asking. Ask numerous questions during the conversation, including the salary range. It's a fair question. You are checking them out just like they are checking you out. A decent employer should not be offended by your inquiry. Also, in addition to salary, inquire if they implement a bonus program and how it works. If you are in a high-demand field or have skills in demand, ask if there is a signing bonus attached to the job. You'd be surprised. Don't be arrogant, just inquisitive and very matter of fact. Ask other questions, too. Don't let all your questions revolve around money. Good luck!

In fact, I've never brought it up during an interview. Salary should be brought up when in negotiation for the job. If you don't have the slightest idea that the position is in "your range" when you first walk through the door of a company, ask the HR person for the salary range, and expect to hear something between $20,000 (such as $35k-$55k). Know you aren't going to get the highest amount they mention. If its less than $20k range, know they are hiding some numbers and you may qualify for the top of the range (such as $35-$45--aha, you could get $45). As I mentioned before, any further talk of money should wait until you've been offered the job.

Remember, you're interviewing them as well with your mental checklist.
If you've done a background check on the co.
such as how long they've been in business and what employees are expected to bring to the co.,then you should know about how much you should be making at that company.
If durning the interview, it hasn't been brought up then ask away about such things as salary and such..

After they inform you that they want you, THEN and only then do you bring up salary. If you bring it up in the interview, you may shoot yourself in the foot and knock yourself out of the running. If you wait until after they choose you, you now have leverage. They often times have informed the other candidates that they are not worthy. Also, you have distinguished yourself as the "best fit", and therefore can now start the salary negotiation process. Good Luck!!!

At the end of an interview most people giving the interview will ask if you have any questions. This is a good time to ask.

Never during the interview.

probably after your third interview, usually when you're hired they will tell you the salary, however if they don't then it's proper right after they say you're hired to say something like "let's see now, I get paid the 15th and 30th of the month and what was the yearly salary?

Never. Don't ask.
However, if you comment on what you were looking for ("Of course I would expect a package that included a salary of between $80K and $120K (including my incentive), is that a realistic expectation?"), you'll either get an offer (if your expectation is realistic) or you won't!

Unless they bring it up first, not until being given a job offer.
