Salary Requirements: Don’t be tricked by this job application question

By Peter Newfield | July 11, 2017 |

Have you ever been asked to provide your salary requirements? Were you tempted to write down $1 Million? Wouldn’t that be nice? Even though a ridiculous question begs for an unrealistic answer, there are better and more professional ways to respond. Or better yet, don’t answer it. But don’t ignore it either. You are not…

Jeanie,
Thank you, it looks great.
Is this the final format you are recommending including bolds, yellow highlights, etc?
Also I did sign up for the LinkedIn option as well, what do you need from me to start that process too?
Again thank you.

Lynn,
I am impressed. This is so good I would hire myself! I think you did an excellent job. My minor changes are highlighted in red.
I would feel privileged if you would like me to be a reference for your work. I sincerely appreciate your professionalism. You see I think American business is beginning to loose this trait. At any rate…
I certainly would like you to write a killer cover letter for me.
I also am interested in the targeted email campaign to recruiters and specific companies and would appreciate speaking to someone in your group about this. Let me know on this one. Believe me I want this resume to go to the decision makers but understand that we need to send a good amount of this resume out to unsolicited people. I need guidance please.
One question I do want to ask you or Peter is, “Having read this resume where do you think Lew F. belongs in terms of job title and industry/company?”.
Looking forward to hearing from you on my questions and the receipt of final resume.
I’m excited.
Regards,
Lew

Hi Peter,
The resume that Dan wrote worked. I posted it on Dice on Monday night and Tuesday morning received a call from a consultant firm. they hired me for a long term project, at higher then my normal billable rate, plus expenses. I could not believe that the resume worked in less then 12 hours. I am recommending you all around, so I expect you will be getting some calls.
Thank you,
Chris Howell
