What do I put for pay expectations?

Published

Hello,

Applying for new positions that do NOT require travel. Average 800- 1000 miles/month traveling for my current job (this does not include commute miles)-TOO MUCH!

Just wondering what I should put down for hourly expectations. Don't want to be too high so they won't look at my app. but don't want to be too low so they think they can get me "cheap".

18+years of experience and just finished my MSN.

Any suggestions???????

Thanks.

Put negotiable, depending on benefits (i.e. vacation, etc.)....then talk with them...they already have an offer amount in mind.
