Discussing Salary Expecations in an Interview

Salary Expecations: 

The second part of the interview question regarding your salary expectations is a bit tricky.  If you cite a salary too low, you may seem desperate and if you quote a salary that is too high you may be eliminated from further consideration.    Some options to tackle this situation are:
Mention that salary is not your primary concern.  You are more interested in the job profile and feel that it is a type of position that you are looking for.   And then ask the recruiter what is the salary range for the position.
                            Mention that you expecting a fair compensation that is comparable to the market for a similar positions and similar experience levels.
Try not to throw out a figure.  But if you are pushed in a corner, give a realistic figure that is slightly higher than the salary that you would be willing to accept.  This also leaves room for negotiation at your end.
