FYI: You are asking about two different careers and salary. Cost Accountant Job Overview According to the Institute of Management Accountants (IMA), about 75% of professionals performing finance and accounting functions work inside businesses and organizations (www.imanet.org). This includes cost accountants, who help set budgets and record the costs of operations for an organization.

Job Duties Cost accountants are responsible for budgeting, cost management, performance evaluation and asset management within a company or organization. They typically collaborate as part of an executive team to create a financial plan for the organization. They may work with corporate executives or heads of companies to strategically plan for a company, or they may prepare financial reports for tax authorities, creditors, stockholders and regulatory agencies. Education Requirements for Cost Accountants A bachelor's degree is usually the minimum requirement for a job as a cost or junior accountant, although a growing number of employers seek prospective employees with a master's degree in accounting or a Master of Business Administration (MBA) with a concentration in accounting. Still, some companies might hire individuals who have only an associate degree or have taken accounting classes at a business school. Many individuals choose to become Certified Management Accountants (CMA), a globally recognized designation conferred by the IMA that involves an exam. Cost Accountant Job Outlook and Salary Information The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) predicted average job growth for accountants and auditors between 2012-2022, with those holding a professional designation, such as CMA or Certified Public Accountant (CPA), enjoying the best prospects (www.bls.org). A 2012 salary survey by the IMA found that certified professionals earned approximately 32% more than those without the CMA designation. The BLS reported the median annual salary of accountants and auditors as $65,080 in May 2013. Career Advancement Cost accountants may advance to higher-level positions within the management accounting world, such as accounting manager, budget director, chief cost accountant or internal auditing manager. Others eventually become chief financial officers, company controllers, treasurers or even presidents of corporations.

Locations affects salary. Here's what I found out for you on the website Bob: ⦁ The average pay for a Food Service Manager is $41,277 per year.

Hi Bob, You can usually look the salary up by going to the salary option of that particular website. If for some reason there is none, then during the interview I would ask (near the end). Usually the employer will ask if you have any questions, then I would say" what are the benefits and salary of this position"? It's better to know BEFORE you commit and not know, right?

I think in the first interview all grounds should be covered.even ask about overtime, Also I like to ask is it fulltime cuz if that's not mentioned in my case my hours were being cut to fit their need at this Resturant.

Hey Bob thank you for this opportunity I will be glad for a second interview

Immediately obtain a salary range from the interviewer. Final Offer is usually made after SECOND/FINAL interview, so just put it on the table....just a desired salarey range. Food for thought.

Bob -

this is a tough one. I have been asked during the first interview about salary expectations, and that is a very reasonable question, because we have expectations of what a job should pay and what we would accept. You could try to find out what the general salaries are for this type of position and check on Glassdoor if they have salaries posted. The other side of not knowing the pay range is that you may be in love with the job but it is way too low paying and you will be disappointed if they offer it to you and you will have to turn it down. This happened to me before! It was very sad to turn down a job that felt perfect to me in every other way. IF they are in the ballpark, then wait until they tell you the salary and negotiate, negotiate, negotiate. Some of the things you can negotiate are vacation days, hours, benefits, etc.. Sometimes, that is more advantageous than actual dollars paid. Good luck!

Either before accepting the job or when filling out paperwork for new hires. It depends on how desperate some one is for employment and if any pay will work.

Hi Bob: Great question! I think a second interview is a great time to discuss salary/rate; however, if it's lower than what you're looking for, don't negotiate until you get the job offer. Wait for them to mention it to you. If they don't, bring it up towards the end of the meeting by asking: "What kind of compensation/benefits are being offered by your company?"
