<prompt> Human: Hello Reddit! Thanks for checking out my post. As the title states, interview tomorrow and I need some advice. A little backstory, in currently a commercial electrician in a construction company, currently making 21hr. I also have a gas card that hugely offsets my driving. A buddy called me up saying a job was offered to him, but that Im perfect for it, and hooked me up with his step-mom-in-law for the details. He mentioned to me 40k. Im not sure if she told him that or not, but that gives me a good comparison to start at. After talking to her, the job does seem like a perfect fit, a manufacturing job for government contracts. It sounds like Im the beginning Id be working alongside other fabricators, but she mentioned theyll also be looking for a department head eventually, something Id like to take classes for to try and secure.Im immensely interested, but calculating my pay out, Id be making the same amount, but without a company gas card. Granted, with the new job Id drive half as much, but it still is pretty helpful during these fluctuating times. What are some easy ways to discuss that Id like more when it comes down to the negotiations? I havent found myself in a job where I have the potential to ask for more, and I dont find myself in interviews frequently. Stories, anecdotes, or general encouragement is appreciated.  <response>: The first job interview isnt the time for negotiation. That comes when youre in later interviews and are actually offered a position. Bring up what you think the difference of losing the gas card is in real dollars if you want a footing to start with.
