When applying for a new job..

[Lpn1997]

I am thinking of switching jobs so I'm trying to fill out an application for another facility. It asks your starting and ending hourly salaries of your current and past jobs. I'm not sure what to put. I have my base hourly salary, then I get 25% on top of that because I don't take my hospital's benefits, then I work nights so throw in the hourly shift differential, and then I also work one weekend night which adds in the weekend hourly differential. Do I just put what my BASE salary is? I don't want to put this enormous hourly amt on there and make it look like that is what I expect from this new facility should I get the position. I know they won't pay anything near what I make since it would be an office job.

Put your base and then write plus shift diff. Honestly no one is going to rule you out because of too high or too low of pay listed. People take different jobs for all sorts of reasons and money is juust one of them.

Good luck!!
