[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Don't write negotiable.  Ok to put a range (be honest about what range  you would accept).  I come from nonprofit world, and we were once hiring for an entry level position, and found a great candidate.  She aced the phone interview and first round.  At second round, we asked her what salary she was looking for. Her response was $80,000.  Our mouths hit the floor - entry level for us was $25-$28k.  So while she might have been negotiable, she wasn't even close to our ballpark. From that day forward, 15+ years later, we REQUIRE a salary range, and if you don't put one, you are not considered (you didn't follow directuons).

Esp. if it's nonprofit, they don't want to waste their time, or yours.  Might be different in for profit world....[/quote]

So stop playing games and have people guess and just state the range in your ad. Goes both ways.[/quote]

This x1000! You must have a salary in mind: tell us what the range is and we can decide whether or not to apply. That great candidate above wasted your time and her time[/quote]
