What should I do if they ask about salary?

What should I do if they about salary?

Well a lot times you’ll see an ad that says resume and cover letter with salary information need to be sent in. You have a couple of choices there. As we’re going to talk about in a bit when talk we talk compensation, you don’t necessarily want to give them salary information up front because it is not to your advantage to do so.

So you can number one, ignore the request chances they’re going to look at your resume anyway. You can number two give them a range of salary expectation based on what you know to be the average for that type of position and that type of company that does require that you do some research. It can’t be just a pipe dream of what you want to make. And then the third thing that you can do is you can be very precise and answer their question with these is how much I make or this is how I'm looking for. I suggest options one or two I don’t suggest three because it’s not to your benefit to do so.
