Because the company interviewed is in a foreign country, I want to inquire about the specific work and salary by phone first. How to say it is more appropriate and polite. . .

You can communicate directly by phone. Just pay attention to the wording of communication. I'm interested in the position, but because I'm in a foreign country, I want to know more about the job, so that I can assess whether I can be competent in advance and know whether I expect the target position. After understanding this, by the way, what is the salary range of this position?

There are several places to pay attention to:

First, if you consult the human resources department by telephone, you may not get a very specific and satisfactory answer about the specific work content of the post. The human resources department may tell you some job contents mentioned in the job description, which you may get from the recruitment information.

Second, before the interview, the salary may not get the official specific answer, but will get a wider range, so even if you get the information, there are still great risks.

Therefore, the ideal situation is to have familiar people in the other company and find acquaintances to learn more specific and true information.
