During job interviews, when asked "What is your expected salary?"

dpnice said:
Are people seriously saying that they go to an interview not knowing what salary is going to be offered?

Most adverts for jobs that I have seen include the salary range.

Hourly wages will generally be told to you, for the sort of jobs that pay by the hour. But most places paying a salary these days will not say how much the pay is - broadly it is up to you to guess until they actually position and tell you then...
 
So I just applied for a job online.

The person in charge emailed me and ask me to reply her back with an email stating my expected salary.

How should I go about it?


When you apply for jobs online, how do you state your expected salary in your resume?


If the job advertisement require you to put your expected salary when you applied for the job, how should you go about it?

This is where you MUST do your homework. What is the going rate for this job, and in your location? How qualified are you for the position you have applied for? How much do you need to make ends meet? How does the organization you have applied for specifically pay? Do they have a reputation for paying above or below average?

Several posters in this thread have stated that salary ranges in Europe are easier to ascertain than in North America. This is probably true, and as I can't quite figure out where you are, you will have to research this information. Also, depending on your location, salaries can range a lot depending on where you are located in North America. Even entry-level Retail jobs can vary depending on where you are at, the condition of the job market, and your skills.

And to answer your final question, how do you state your expected salary in your resume?, your resume generally doesn't include this information, at least in the US, unless specifically asked. This may be a little different if you are looking for a very, very specific job with specific qualifications (Government jobs spring to mind, like City Manager, School Superintendent, etc, and the list is much longer than this).

Good luck.
 
don't low-ball your salary.

They want to know what you think you're worth.

if you're worth less than the other guy, they'll take the other guy.
 
Travis, there is a developed art to presenting your merits, and therefore your salary, in an interview. And it is relative to how much you need or want the job in question.

I recently interviewed for a job that was about 25% less than what I currently make, but it is a different job description, and does tasks I did over the last 20 years. I'm at the top of that job's stated pay range in this city. But, I choose to stay in this town for now, and know the market here.

In my case, I recently moved out of Program Management but at my choice.

This scenario plays itself out in similar but unique ways millions of times each day in interviews. KNOW what you want. Understand the hiring team and company, and most importantly, where you are in the food chain. Do they need you more, or you them? And it is always a combination of both.
 
You put in what you feel you are worth... If you lowball the figure, ...in like minimum wage category, it's going to show that you do not have much respect for your abilities.. but you do not want to go overboard, and say like $40 an hour lol... I usually write something between 11 to 13 dollars ..... depending on whether it is a management position or not... plus if you lowball the figure and they hire you... They will probably pay you what you said you wanted lol
 
Thanks for all the replies and advices.


I'm applying for a full time position and they pay monthly. Full time jobs don't pay per hour.


It's only part time jobs that pay per hour basis.


So I can't use the per hour basis for my expected job salary. Unless I'm applying for a part time job.
 
My expectation, both as a hiree and as a hirer, is 10 to 20% more than my current or previous salary. No one should expect to receive less and rarely will the increase exceed 25%.
