Amber arrives for her first interview with Overseas Ventures, Inc., fifteen minutes early, wearing a dress blouse and a business
suit whose skirt hem hits her knees. During the interview, she mentions a successful cost-cutting measure she implemented on her current job. She expresses gratitude for the opportunity her current employer gave her. She mentions what her current salary is and says she hopes the prospective employer can better it. After the interview, she sends a thank-you note to the manager who interviewed her. What did Amber do wrong? a) Sending a thank-you note was inappropriate.
b) She dressed too provocatively.
c) She bragged too much.
d) Mentioning her current employer was inappropriate.
e) She should not have brought up salary.
Bringing up your current salary is something that could very well be considered 'inappropriate behavior' during a interview for a job. When filling out your application, you are normally required to express your needs/wants when it comes to money; that said, comparing how much you make at another company to the one you are applying for is disrespectful and should not be done.
