Questions like what sort of experience do you have and what are your goals? are closely related to this. #Person1#: Ok. What else? #Person2#: They may want to know how the company will benefit and why they should hire you? #Person1#: I see. What about the salary? #Person2#: Hm, they may ask you what kind of salary you have in mind, or simply tell you what the company is offering.

You'Ve helped me a lot. #Person2#: Anytime. Let me know how it works out.
