單位主管：你目前（或上一份工作）的待遇是多少？How much do you make now? (Or how much did you make from your last job?)
應徵者：
（1）我目前（或上一份工作）月薪是三萬五千塊，加上兩個月的年終獎金。I am presently (or was) making 35 thousand dollars plus 2 months of year-end bonus.
（2）我的薪水低於比一般行情。I am (or was) making less than the average pay.
（3）對不起，我不想回答；因爲這兩份工作的職務與行業都不一樣，兩者無法相提並論，所以不如請您告訴我公司規定是多少？ I am sorry but I’d rather not answer your question because these two jobs are totally different in the nature. I cannot compare an apple with an orange; this job has nothing to do with my current (or last) job. Therefore, why don’t you suggest me how much I should ask for?
筆者注：雖說應徵者面試時要儘量配合資方的`訊問，但如果你真的不想回答有些問題的話，可以婉拒；記住語調要客氣，臉上要掛着微笑哦。
單位主管： 你的希望待遇是多少？（這高出我們的預算。） What is your expected salary? (That’s more than we had planned.)
應徵者： （1）就這個工作而言，以我的學歷/能力/經驗，理想是三萬五左右，但希望不低過三萬塊月薪。（我相信這個要求很合理。） Based on my education/skills/experiences to this job, my ideal is 35 thousand but not lower than 30 thousand a month. (I believe this is very reasonable.)
（2）我希望有四萬出頭。（您將會發覺我是物超所值。） I am looking for low 40 thousand. (You will find I am worth more than every dollar of what you pay me.)
（3）我想要求五萬五到六萬（但這可以再商量）。 I would like to have 55 to 60 thousand (but that’s negotiable).
