Moving/Relocation
I applied for a new job in a new country which offered more than I was earning in my previous job.
reception administration - Queensland, Australia
When I applied online and was asked to come in for an interview, everything went well, I was pretty much going to be doing the same as what I had done at my previous job with less responsibilites and duties.

When it came to the, "how much do you expect to be paid for the job"? I was a bit taken back as the advert had stated X amount of $. I paused and took a deep hopefully un-noticed breath and replied, well from memory the advertisment said X amount of $ I believe that is fair and reasonable for the experience and qualifications I have.

(Hindsight I must add, I was nervous but confident that I was worth what they were offering as a starting rate and knew from browsing the net that it was about the going rate for the position I was applying for)

I got the job!
