The sky is the limit. If you have to ask you can't afford me.

it means how much did you make at your last job per hour, weekly, monthly, etc. if this is your first job make sure you explain this and be specific on what good qualities you have for the job.

Your prospective employer will probably already have somebody in mind to examine you who knows what standards your new company has etc and that your new company can trust to be completely honest with them. Otherwise you could be typing your own, for all anybody knows. See what I mean?

do a little research on the company so if they ask questions you can answer them. dress respectably.maybe even, if you are nervous plan a speech and go over it or write it down on an index card. don't bring up salary for a bit. you want them to mostly know that you really want the job. rock thier socks! i hope you get the job. oh, and um, get some sleep the night before. people hire people who look respectable. this one guy had three guys who wanted a job. he hired the one who had shined thier shoes. if you respect yourself, others will too.

I usually put my rate of pay on my resume for each job.  That way, if the company hiring is offering $8/hr and you are currently making $12/hr, they won't waste your time or theirs on an interview for an employee they can't afford.

Hi, these kind of questions are actually trick questions to see where you stand in terms of money and what is its importance to you and how would you relate your job with money. \n\nYou have to be very diplomatic - you can say,\n\nWell, i have done my research about this company and i have learnt that (company name) treats its employees very well, in terms of good salary/benefits etc. And if i am a part of this company i know that from my side i will put in 100% to help in my own way for the growth of this company. At the end of the day what i want is Job satisfaction and value for my effort.(now here what you need to do is first check the prevailing market rates. eg - call center fresher its 8000 starting, other pvt companies - anywhere between 5k to 7k, teaching - 3 to 5k, etc) so you can say, i know i am s fresher but i am a quick learner and easily adaptable to any kind of job profile. so knowing my own abilities i expect the same prevailing market rate ... (mention the amount)\n\nremember, that just because you are a Fresher, never underestimate your talent.\n\np.s - DONT FORGET TO RESEARCH ABOUT THE COMPANY\n\nALL THE BEST

First you must put a firm starting point.  You have to feel that if the benifits aren't up to snuff then you can ask for more, and if it's a job that you really want then you would be ok if they offer less.  But they ask for salary requirements for a reason, and that is for a starting point not to waste your or their time.

Don't discuss salary until you are offered the job.  If they ask during the interview, say "I'm open to negotiate." or "I currently make __________ and I'm open to negotiate."  I prefer to stick with the first, not saying what I currently make.  You don't want to underbid yourself when they might be willing to pay more.  When they give you the job offer, it will include their offer of salary.  This is when you start to negotiate. You can negoiate benefits, vacation time, work schedule, office space or whatever you feel is important to you.  If you insist I pick one of the options above, I'd say "$45k to $55k thousand depending on the benefits offered."  (Benefits are a huge chuck so you have a right to have a 10k range depending on benefits.  Whatever you do, make $45 your lowest.  You know what you're worth so don't compromise unless you have to keep food on the table.

I agree w/ the first post: if you can avoid it, at all costs, do so. He who mentions salary first usually loses that game. During my job search I read a book by Jack Chapman (Google him). Sometimes they state it as a requirement, or you won't even be considered. If they have stated a salary range, obviously, make sure you can live with that. If you can't, the job's not for you. If they state no salary range, then go on the web and find out what people in that job usually get in your area. You could state something like, "My salary requirements would be in the mid-forties, as such is commensurate with the median salary in the Chicago area." This tells the employer a couple of things: you did your research, and you know the job market for that industry/position.

If the Union is concurring with this job offer then have them explain to you, in full, what its all about and what it entails.  Never go into anything blindly.  I'm sure your Union means well but you will be held accountable for your choice.

Go to the U.S. Department of Labor website and look up the prevailing wage stats for each position nationally and in the area(s) you intend to find a job in.  That should give you a really good idea what to expect from a reputable employer.

Sometimes they ask you why do you want to work for that company and what do you expect from them or how much do you think you can grow there.  they basically want to know YOU aside from what is stated in your resume.

walked out on an interview that only offered me 35000 US dollars to start.  The previous job that I had was paying me 50000.  When they told mewhat they were going to pay me i just got up and left.  No thank you or nothing.  They also advertised that the postion was going to range from 50000-75000

Well i don't know you, but when asked what do I see in my future, I'd say "your Job" to whoever was asking.\nAsk your friends these very questions, like ask her/him "what do you think makes me a good manager?" They can come up with the best answer for you.

Make a case by showing your boss exactly what your expenses are and what that amounts to in an hourly wage.  That shows that you aren't just asking for the sake of asking.
