the applicant. always start high and go from there. if you wait for them to offer, you may be disappointed.

In a first interview, money should not really come up. You could, when they give you the opportunity to ask questions, ask what the salary range is. That gives you a place to think from if you get a second interview, or something to talk about if you're called/sent a letter with a job offer. Bringing it up first and in a "throwing out a number" might highly annoy the interviewing person. It's presumptuous that you're going to get the job and it also take away from what they are trying to find out in that meeting...who you are, your skills, etc. It also makes you look like $ is your only concern. Really, your questions should be ascertaining the same things of your prospective company.

This is the problem with not having staff union representation and having them negotiate for you. The unltimate weapon in pay negotiations, for a union, is the withdrawal of labour through strike action, if a satisfactory offer is not made. As an individual you do not have this option. What you can do though is intimate that you are giving consideration to applying for jobs elsewhere. If you have evidence (e.g. job adverts) that similar positions pay better elsewhere then this may help, although the employer may wait for evidence that you are actually applying elsewhere before they make any offer. You will need to give them reason to believe that if the current offer is not improved upon then you will seriously (reluctantly) be looking for alternative employment. Unless you do this, why should they bother paying you more when they know you'll stay and work for them at your current salary level?

In regards to salary - a company will looked at what you are being paied at your current position and most applications have a place to put your desired amount is - be honest (or they might ask you this during an interview). From there they will come up with something that matches up to what they are paying their current employees and present that to you in an offer. From there, let the negotiations being.
I would have a number in your mind that it is going to make you interested in the position, but you have to be able to walk way from it, if that $ isn't met.

WRONG---stay away from salary in both the application and the first meeting
If they are interested in you youll come back a 2nd and 3rd time and then they will bring up salary
MONEY is not important the first time
Remember you want a great job with a great company and benefits, you will work 7 days a week, 24 hours a day

The salary/remuneration for a particular job is the market value for a particular profession and designation at the city/town where the office is located. Job postings at websites like Monster, Yahoo HotJobs and Careerbuilder carry information about salaries. The Govt Dept of Labor, (www.bls.gov) Bureau of statistics has information about median salaries for different professions and details of additional compensation offered. Other online resources are salary.com and payscale. Your salary will also depend on your educational qualification and how you handle your career.

you should wait until they mention it. unless, the interview is almost over and they didn't bring it up. if they don't bring it up and say " so, do you have any questions..." then, you can bring it up.
i worked HR for UPS for a while and that is an important part of an interview, so don't be shy about it, but don't come across like that's all you care about.
i would think someone was an idiot if they didn't ask about salary in an interview.
take care and good luck!

Wait for the interviewers finished your his or her questions and then anything have not added such salary. Ask this:
What the salary range that I would start this position?
Nothing else ask.. It is your decision to take this offer or reject it.

This is tuff, because they should throw out the # 1st, but if they don't & you say one that's too low, then you just told them your not worth much, but then if you say too high they think your full of it...I always try a good medium amount, and hope for the best
