How do i translate

"what salary are you expecting?"

the context is an interviewer asking a interviewee.

In addition how would i say " what companies have you worked for"?

Sueldo is usually applied to professionals who earn a bi-weekly (not hourly) salary. Salario applies better to hourly wages. However, the two words could be used interchangeably.

¿A qué salario/sueldo aspiras? is probably a good way to express it.

Hello, we encourage people to do their own try and ask if they have further doubts. This is not a free translation service.

You can write a whole simple sentence with the terms you need to translate (with proper spelling and punctuation), contextualize it and use the Translation button at the top of the page.

Also, if you double-click on a word you will get a definition from our Dictionary.

However, after checking the misleading results in the machine translator, I better give you the right answer this time:

¿Cuánto salario espera? (formal)

¿Cuánto salario esperas? (informal)

--

¿En cuáles empresas ha trabajado? (formal and not in Spain) tongue wink

¿En cuáles empresas has trabajado? (informal and not in Spain) tongue wink

EDIT:

¿En qué empresas ha trabajado? and ¿En qué empresas has trabajado?

"Cuáles empresas" is not a recommended option if you are going to Spain, though. - lazarus1907, Jan 23, 2011

As you can see there many ways to ask. I would say "¿Dónde ha trabajado antes?" for where have you worked before? I use "sueldo" and not "salario" but it's all right and anything similar should be understood.

Qué sueldo espera. (usted form). A native is probably better suited to answer the "what companies" part as my literal answer might not be the way they say it.
