active interest in wanting to get further information from the
panel.
n It infers that you are taking this process seriously and
considering all aspects before making a decision.

n By asking about the money in an interview (unless it is brought up
by the Hiring Manager/Interviewer) it can imply that you
motivations are money related more than opportunity driven –
n appreciate that money is important but considering this is your
time to shine and stand out it can wait!
