After a few years of not getting much luck in the great job hunt I have an interview in the next few weeks.
In the email I have to confirm my attendance they are asking what my current salary is and what my salary expectations are.
Currently Im earning slightly more than not very much and had always been told to use the “im sure the salary on offer for such a position will be the market rate for the position…..blah blah etc” but this only really works at interview.
A bit of background, I graduated with a Postgrad MSc in 2007 and since then had 6 months on a research project then been self employed sometimes earning enough to pay tax!!
So this is a bit tricky to get things right.
Ive tried to speak to people I know, but the answers Im getting vary wildly.
The job is in the Renewable Energy sector, if that is any help in the responses. I don’t really want to put too much in the open world, just incase
Any helpful suggestions very welcome
cheers
