Hello Desi's,
I am looking for a first job here.
I am an engineer and PMP certified. I was interviewed on telephone by Vice President of one Company in Toronto for a Project Manager Position.
I am not in IT but in Engineering & Construction.
The person who spoke to me over phone seem to be satisfied with the conversation and asked me finally what salary you expect.
I said i have thoroughly researched the Company and looking for career oriented position and expect salary in certain range.
He said he will call me again for a personal interview.
Guys, please put your ideas and canadian experience here to answer my following querries:
1) Salary which can be offered for Project Manager position.
2) What other normal benifits that i should confirm the employer, like medical for self and family, bonus?
3) Transportation? This i am asking b'cos the position requires travel to job sites at times.
4) International travel?
Thanks in advance.

I've been through this situation recently and took my first job in Canada so I can understand how you feel.
My suggestion is - do not talk about the salary until much much later. Rationale -
1. the later you put off the salary dscussions, the more time and effort the hiring manager has put into your hiring and will be less inclined (at a later date) to look elsewhere.
2. the more time you discuss the position, the more info you can get on the company, its benefits, salaries etc. You can also network around and get more info.
3. job descriptions can evolve - especially for experienced professionals. So the more you discuss, you might be able to nudge the ob description in your favour and thus move yourself up the salary scale.
Good luck!!!

I would say that I am considering not just salary but a good opportunity. I will consider any offer you make seriously and get back if I have any questions.
You have already given a range and they are still talking to you, so you are withing their range too.
As others have mentioned, now reel them in. Let them give you a figure, you keep talking of the firm, the job, opportunity etc.
With luck, you will get an offer. At that time, ask for some time, or if you are prepared, ask for total compensation(benefits etc.).
Then decide if you want to push them on salary or something else. Be reasonable, it is a tough market, and at that point they will want to close too, and the will be reasonable too, most likely.
Good luck.
