"salary expectations" in application
DH is applying for a job that asks for a resume and salary expectations. Our research shows that he should not include salary expectations. I was wondering if any of you have had experience with this - have you applied for a position that asked you to include salary expectations and you did not? How did address the issue and how did it turn out? Any tips?
Re: "salary expectations" in application
At the Dept. of Labor workshop I went to, they told us to give a range of what we were expecting for a salary. I ended up doing that for the job I just recently got and it worked out well. Also be sure to mention that the salary range is negotiatiable, depending on other benefits.
If they have requested that you include salary expectations in the cover letter... then do NOT ignore this request. It's actually one of the easiest ways to weed out candidates who are not in the right range for the position. And, and in all likelihood, someone who didn't follow directions and include them, when they were specifically asked to do so, is someone who doesn't follow directions well.
As pp mentioned it's fine to include a range.
I'd write something along the lines of this (adjusting for what's truly important to your DH) "My current salary range is $x-$x. The total compensation package as well as growth opportunties are of equal importance to me so my base salary is negotiable."
