I was young and foolish then though.
Point taken! Im not trying to be greedy. Im a graduate so Im grateful for what I get but I didnt want a case where they were expecting me to negotiate and I just accepted.

Just go with the flow. If it happens, it happens.
Congratulations on the interview. You'll be great!

You can do what i did in all my interviews...When they discuss money you tell them that you're more interested in the expierence of working in a relevant role...

They love that kind of stuff,
Money isn't the important thing, expierence is.

Just an update on this......

I was gazumped by a more experience candidate Interview went great and I was feeling so confident about it but the person they interviewed after me had far more experience than me.

So I think its fair to say .... mods, please delete this thread! Anyway lesson learned, dont count your chickens before theyre hatched.
