Salary requirements

Salary Range

Let’s talk money. It’s a subject that’s surprisingly uncomfortable to discuss openly, especially when you’re asking how much someone makes. But salary discussions are obviously necessary when you’re applying for a job. So what do you say when a recruiter asks you about your salary requirements? And can you get a potential employer to disclose their salary range first? When in the conversation should you discuss salary, and how do you determine what your salary requirements should be?

If the job posting asks for salary requirements, you will need to include them in your cover letter. Make sure that you address the requirement in the first paragraph of your letter, and be as specific as possible.

Determining your own salary requirements can feel like cruel and unusual punishment, especially if the position you're accepting never existed before.
