What if the Salary is Not Listed?
I enjoy reading your blogs. My job is very boring and is ending soon so I spend most of my time at work reading old post from your blog and trying to figure out my next step in life. I do have one question tho. As I have been applying to jobs, I have noticed one thing. Many HR representatives won’t give out the pay for the jobs that they are calling for me to interview for. Now, I don’t want to waste my time asking off from work and the companies time that I am applying for if the pay is not within my standards. So my questions is do I still go to the interview without knowing the salary upfront?
You should apply to jobs where the average salary for that job is within the range of what you’re looking for.
If you don’t know average ranges, look them up on PayScale.com — be sure to include your geographic data and your years of experience.
