if an application form asks you to put what salary you expect or require

[zippitippitoes]

..how do you decide what to put?

In this case the job salary is between 15,760 to 23,010

Does it ask what your current salary is?
You could leave it blank or you have to put what you want/need/expect based on your circumstances and your skills/experience.

Put more than you expect or require but not quite teh top of the range?

Oh its a completely unfair queation to ask. i get asked it all the time as I'm freelance so everytime I have to quote. its hideous. The only advice I can give is don't undersell yourself and leave a bit of gap for negotiation.

go for the full amount because you're going to be so brilliant

£20,000 with a review after three months.

it does ask for current salary but I don't actually have one eccentrically enough..as it is my own non profit making business so not sure what to put for that either

I'd be delighted to get a job paying their starting salary tbh!

highly unlikely to get this job but I can't see how I don't fulfil their stated requirements which seem quite general

I was thinking of putting 18,500

oh some more posts, thank you, zippi promptly undersells herself!

I am applying for a few jobs and really struggling with the applications..having to do some creative work on filling gaps and no idea how to fill in the details really

Why don't you simply put "negotiable", and then you can discuss it if/when your application progresses to that point.

oh brilliant idea..

I'm so crap at this..

A man would not even have started this thread and would have put the top amount.

probably olive and in fact it is a man's job..I think

job title technical co-ordinator

You are getting a bit sexist here. I remember (a long time ago) asking for £4k; they said the starting salary was £6.5k! A man's job - wtf?

I was joking about man's job clerk!

in fact you have to put a numerical value in so when I tried leaving it blank it went and inserted 0, but it is a charity after all!

I read elsewhere that they start most people off on the lowest point of the scale so I shall just put that I think.
