You're obviously allowed to ask about compensation when you interview for a job. A recent response from an online delivery company to a job candidate was extreme, but it brings up an interesting question: When do you bring up salary?

Getting a great job at a great company isn't easy, and that means their interview questions are going to be difficult. If you thought the usual interview fare like "tell me about yourself" is tough, wait til you see these.

A job interview is a time to both present yourself as an excellent candidate and to find out more about the company, team, and role so you can make an educated decision if you receive an offer. Part of that education is figuring out what you need to excel in the role.

It's easy to forget that job interviews aren't just an evaluation of you as a candidate, they're also a chance for you to get a sense of the company and team you could work with. Look for these warning signs during your next interview to make sure you're getting into a good situation.

Those awkward moments when you chat about the weather or news with your interviewers before they start asking questions aren't just them trying to be nice. Turns out the gift of gab might get you a gig.

There are a lot of curveballs hiring managers can throw your way in an interview, but questions about your past can be really tough to answer. Here's the best way to answer a question like, "What career regrets do you have?"

Job interviews and job reviews can be intimidating, and it's tempting to break the ice with a bit of humour. If your sense of humour tends to be overly sarcastic, though, that might be a turn-off to your boss or potential employer.

You're getting ready for a big job interview when some unforeseen circumstance arises, putting you at risk of being late. You might feel tempted to hurry and get there as soon as you can, but that actually makes things worse for both you and the interviewer.

You have one page to prove to a potential employer that you're worth hiring. Don't waste time transcribing every task you ever carried out. Highlight how much impact those tasks had for the company.

When you're negotiating your salary, vague ideas like what you're "worth" can seem overwhelming. This briefcase technique can help quantify your value and get a better salary.

You need to put your best foot forward when being interviewed for a job, so it's a good idea to give yourself extra time to get ready. You'll look your best and be capable of handling any emergencies that pop up.

It's good to ask a few questions at a job interview and show your interest, but there is one question you should always avoid.

Hiring managers size you up in a lot of different ways during an interview, including how you physically present yourself. A recent US nationwide survey of over 2500 hiring and human resource managers found these body language mistakes hurt your chance of landing the job the most.

Interviews are a two-way street. While you might be trying to get a job, you also want to know if you're getting a bad boss in the process. You can't just ask "Do you suck at being a boss?" but you might be able to get an idea with subtler questions.
