Jess, do you have this app already?

megan, not an HR person, but that question is included on the form people have to fill out for my University: If you don't think you can skip it altogether (that's what I tell people to do applying here - it doesn't affect whether we interview anyone) then I would say something like, "people in my current position are compensated in the following range using the broadest definition you can. (e.g. a reference librarian at my place makes anywhere from 30K - 80K) Likewise, I'd give a range for the expectations based on some research.

I can use Google Streetview to see what foof chains are at each one!
Because foof's important.
I think those Christians are going, "Well, sure, no one *knows*, but for the truly wise and enlightened, there are clues. God can't just tells us the clues are there, it's one of those mysteries of faith thing."

What does one put for: "What is your current salary and expectations?" Is there a good non-answer? (Note: If I put a down a figure for current salary, I will not lie).
Well, what are you hoping for relative to your current salary? Do you have any idea what their range is?

I totally agree with Sparky.
I've used, "commensurate with industry standards."

Our wings are not tired.
I maintain that your current salary is absolutely no business of your potential employer's. What you make now is only relevant to you and your current company. Do NOT tell them your current salary- it will ONLY be used against you. Also, it's none if their business. I can't emphasize that enough.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
A few weeks ago I saw a small caravan of what I can only think to call "Rapturemobiles" driving through my neighborhood. They were wrapped with "THE END IS COMING! REJOICE!" decals with May 21st printed all over, and loudspeakers (thankfully not in use) mounted on top. Somebody's gonna have a hell of a time reselling those on May 22nd...
The Lubovitch can buy them and repaint them as Mitzvah Mobiles.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil
Back in the 1980s, there was a guy who had painted his car a dull black and covered it in Bible sayings painted in white and a loudspeaker on top, and drove around downtown Milwaukee all day long playing recorded sermons from it. We all called him The Holy Roller on campus.
