right - salary negotiation advice (sensible post!) applied for a job
been offered an interview and they have asked me to provide salary expectations.
I wanted them to really like me at interview and then to agree salary
For this type of role I have seen salaries as low as ?27k up to ?45k - I am more than qualified and have done the job for many years and would want the upper but as I'm unemployed I don't want to scare them off
Now if I show them what i want i could lose out or I could be too expensive - any advice gratefully received

Posted By: Mecagoenti, Feb 6, 13:32:31 - 6I feckin hate it when they do that. It's totally unneccessary too - they surely must have
