I personally think discussing pay is part of what is to be expected in an interview. We have potential employees ask about pay all the time. If they are really experienced, they simply say, "with my experience and expertise in this area, I was hoping to start out at 12-13/hour. Is that a possibility?" Or they say, "I NEED to be at 12-13/hour" and don't give us a choice. I don't think it sounds out of the question at all. If the candidate was the one we really want, we negotiate the pay to get them. They are going to start the position as low as they can, and keep in mind, they will get someone worth that, but if you are worth more, you may take it because you need the job, but you will continue looking because you are better qualified for more pay. This way, you are saying you are worth extra. It helps sell you.
