We try to coach to steer away from talking about salary in an interview. If you say a number that is too high for the hospital, you might be taking yourself out of the race. If you give them a number that is low, you are either leaving money on the table or you are giving the interviewer the impression that you are worth less than the next candidate. Possible answer: “I am looking for at least a competitive salary; I definitely want to receive compensation equal to the effort put forth.”
