Typically,if you ask about salary,compensation,and other perks on the first interview,you may inadvertently send the meta message "this is all about me." One survey showed that less than one-third of hiring managers thought it was OK for interviewees to bring up salary on the first interview.Other things that hiring managers consider serious problems in the job application/interview process include dressing provocatively,having typos or grammatical errors in a cover letter and/or résumé,talking negatively about a previous supervisor or boss,and being late for the interview.
