Avoid Listing Your Desired Salary

It’s wonderful when an employer actually provides a salary range in the job description since this helps you determine if the role is the right fit for you financially. Unfortunately, most employers are rarely willing to provide that information upfront. Instead, many employers don’t tell you a salary range until you get through the interview process. To add insult to injury, many employers will also require you to list your desired salary during the application process.

If you’re confident that your desired salary range is in line with your experience and with the industry to which you’re applying, then feel free to list your desired salary in the application. However, if you’re not sure what salary you should be asking for, you’re worried that you’ll low-ball yourself, or you’re concerned you might ask for too much and not get an interview, then I recommend not listing a desired salary in the application.

If the application system does not allow you to leave the desired salary blank, then list the digit “0.” Don’t worry. Employers know that you aren’t saying that you’ll work for free. By listing zero, all you’re saying to the employer is that the salary will be discussed during or after the interview.

Note: If an employer lists a salary range in a position description, make sure that you’re willing to accept a salary in that stated range. If you’re looking for a position that pays more than the stated range, then I do not recommend applying for the position. Unless you know someone on the inside who has told you that the role will pay more, assume that the role will only pay within the salary range listed on the job description. If you apply, interview, and are offered the job at an amount within that range, you will only burn a bridge with that company if you demand an even higher salary.
