A few things: A lot of jobs I apply to are online form submissions that have a required field for prior/current salary. I presume if I put zero there it gets rejected. As such I inflate it for total compensation in my mind, because I worked really low hours so basically figure the lowish pay was worth more since anywhere else would have higher hours. Is putting in $1 like others recommended not going to get it punted when a human sees it? Alternatively, a lot of job postings say to email with a salary requirement. Again, I start pretty high on this and say " plus benefits ". Is there a better way to phrase things? In the one interview I had lately I was asked point blank the salary I was seeking, so I said it and essentially got laughed at for it being too high, they didn't even counter. I suppose I could just repeatedly dodge the question but it seems silly to try that- it's two parties going " you first " "no you" And anecdotally, my wife gave the salary range answer when interviewing for the job she has, and they gave her the top of the range. Makes no sense. mastershakeman fucked around with this message at 06:39 on May 8, 2016 |

Thanks, I'll give that phrase and others a shot. Unfortunately, the longer I go unemployed the more I'm willing to work anywhere, including places that would reject me for the $1 thing.
