                interviewing process, and toward the end I would be able to give you a much
                better idea of what it is that I would expect in terms of my salary, based on all
                those other factors. At the moment, to give you any kind of estimate (оценки)
                would be uneducated (неграмотно) on my part. I look forward to (жду с
                нетерпением) investigating (исследовать) those areas, and I look forward
                to starting the interview process. You might (может быть) be thinking, well,
                that’s evasive (уклончиво), and they’re going to be upset if I don’t actually
                give them a number. What’s actually going to happen if you don’t give them
                a  number  is  you’re  going  to  effectively  position  yourself  (эффективно
                позиционируете себя) to earn a lot of points throughout (на протяжении)
                the  process  and  make  a  more  educated  decision  (взвешенное/верное
                решение)  at  the  end.  What’s  going  to  happen  transactionally
                (транзакционно)  at  that  moment,  which  most  people  do  not  realize,  is  if
                you’ve got the goods, if your resume’s in order, you are right for this position,
                and they are ultimately (в конечном итоге) going to want to hire you. That
                recruiter, if  you don’t provide an  expected  salary, if  it’s a big deal (это
                важно) to the recruiter or it’s a big deal to the hiring official, that recruiter will
                turn  to  the  hiring  official  and  say,  “I  like  this  person’s  background
                (информация/опыт  о  человеке).  They  really  didn’t  want  to  advise
                (советовать) on what it was that they expected in the way of compensation”.
                And the hiring official’s going to say “Get them in here so we can interview
                her”. That’s what they’ll say. The reason I know that is I was a hiring official
                for many, many years. And I always tell the recruiters, “Don’t ask what their
                expected salary is”. It’s silly for you to ask that, because they’ll give you an
                uneducated (неграмотно) answer.
                Answer the questions:
                1.  What does the speaker advise you to answer?
                2.  What should an interviewee look at before articulating the salary number?
                3.  When  according  to  the  speaker  can  an  interviewee  be  able  to  give  an
                    estimate of the salary?
                4.  What is going to happen when you don’t give them a number?
                5.  What happens if a number is a big deal for the hiring official?
                6.  What is silly of the interviewers?
