"Inverted pyramid" is a style of writing typical in newspapers and wire services in which the most important information is placed and explained in the first few sentences or paragraphs of an article, with less and less important facts and information following downward. The style is meant to help copy editors trying to fit the article into limited space, as the article can be "cut from the bottom" without losing major relevance.

This question is one reason to do some research on the organization before the interview. Find out what they basically do, where they have been and where they are going.

A tricky question. Things can turn sour if you answer this. Apply a little tact: do not answer it directly. Instead, say something like, "That's a tough question. Can you tell me the range for this position?" In most cases, the interviewer, taken off-guard, will tell you. If not, say that it can depend on the details of the job. Then give a wide
range.
