<prompt> Human: I got an interview through a job listing online for an Administrative Assistant position in the Charlotte area of NC. Im very unhappy with my current admin assistant job, which pays 10hr and averages only 27 hours a week, so I really want this full-time job.The job listing says that the position pays 25kyear. Would it be a bad idea to ask for 30k? I only have six months of experience in my current job and a semester of experience as a research assistant in college, but I think 30k is still low enough compared to the median for the area to reflect my relative lack of experience while still being an okay salary for the work. But I really dont know, I just graduated this past May so I am new to all of this. My degree is in Psychology, if that makes a difference.As for my situation, I have about 55k in student loan debt. I currently live at home and my loan payments are my only monthly expense. I will be carpooling to this new job initially but will be buying a car as soon as I canI was planning to get a KIA Rio or something else inexpensive. My boyfriend graduates from college this coming May and will be moving in with us right after to try and find a job in the area. I am okay with living at home for a while to save money and make extra loan payments, but I dont want to delay us getting our own apartment together for years and years either. Edit: I had my interview today. The hiring manager said that the pay would be 14hr, rather than a per-year salary. I felt like I rambled a little but otherwise did well. He said this was a positive interview at the end and that I would know by Friday. Then I got a call about an hour later from him saying that I gave a strong interview and they didnt feel it was necessary to make me wait another day to find out that I had the offer!  <response>: Dont mention salary in your first interview unless they bring it up. Wait until they give you an offer.
