What are your salary requirements? In response to a resume I sent to the company for a sales position. I inquired if we were talking about straight salary, commission, bonuses, benefits etc... She said that would be discussed later. Then she asked about my salary requirements again. How do you answer this question when you don't know all the factors?
During my recent job search I have been baffled as to why a signed application is needed to be filled out before the interview process even starts. Of course they ALWAYS demand your SSN and DL number. I think a resume should be all that is necessary at this point. I do not like this type of personal information laying around and at this point I am not even sure if it is the company I want to work for. It happens on online applications as well. Shouldn't this information be provided AFTER an offer is extended based on background and drug tests and not before?
If your age and gender is supposed to be private--they already have everything they need to know from this application. It makes me furious.
I'm surprised nobody gave THIS flip answer yet:
"What are your salary requirements?"
Yes, I'll need a salary.
And I'm considered cheap for what I do (.NET developer with mucho experience)
Good job in declining any silly test you don't want to take.
