What To Write About Salary On Job Application
When I was first starting out in my career, I used to always be concerned about what to put down for the salary. I wondered if my salary was too low that, I wouldn’t be considered or my experience wouldn’t be valued. Then after I was well into my career, I wondered if my salary would eliminate me from consideration. Let me just say one thing about this – JUST TELL THE TRUTH. Don’t fudge the numbers. HR folks are very good in picking apart applications and finding inconsistencies. Plus the can research any job, skill set, job category.
Bottom line is, if you start out telling the truth, you won’t have to think how to explain what has happened. In other words you won’t have to lie. If you do lie on your job application, file thirteen is where your application goes. No it isn’t thrown away, but it sure will be put in the reject pile.
