So I've never really had a full time job, but every job I look for is asking for a salary. What should I do. Do I ask for a range amount? or do i ask for a per hour amount?. What would be the best thing to do?

It depends on what the job is. If it is a professional position than you ask for a range like $30,000-$45,00. Other jobs pay more hourly. Do research into the job you want and find out what others are getting paid for the same position. You'll want to ask for less than someone with experience in that field already because tipically entry-level employees make less money.

You should ask for your amount per hour. The next thing you have to figure out is how much you really need to live, and how much extra money you want. A full time job is equal to 40 hours per week. So, if you needed $8 and hour, multiply 8 by 40. You will earn $320 a week. Is this enough for you? Is it a good salary? Then, I would put down a range of salaries, in case the one you put down isn't good enough for them. For example, I would probably put $8-$10 and hour. But, you also need to remember that you have to pay taxes. So that $320 is more like $300 or less. In this case, I would put down AT LEAST $9 or $10. That way, before taxes, you will have $400. And after, maybe about $350 (per week!).

You can list per hour. That is acceptable. Always ask for a little more. If you usually make $10 per hour, put $15. That way there's some wiggle room and you may end up at $12 or $13.

How about "will negotiate" that will leave an open end response the employer and you can talk about. If you have no experience anyway more than likely they will start you out at entry level and will not negotiate anyway. If they say between this amount and this amount then you have something to work with.
Good Luck.

If it is asking the salary of your previous jobs, simply add up what you would normally make in a month on average, then multiply it by 12 to get an annual amount.
If it is asking your DESIRED salary, put down what you would like to make at the job. Good luck.

No. If those 10 extra hours are required, then a written statement signed by both parties should state that, and go into the employees file. If the extra 10 hours is not needed, then you can change the employees status to hourly, and maybe save yourself some money. Depending on which state you are in, you will be on the hook for unemployment if you fire him without just cause. Make sure you have a good paper-trail of writeups if you plan to demote or fire said individual.

I always put "Negotiable" when it comes to filling out salary requirements. That way, it keeps it open and they can't refuse you because they think you are asking for too high of a salary.

I have always asked for one of two types of salary. Either negotiable, which has already been suggested, or b.o.e. (based on experience).

Write "negotiable" and discuss it at the interview. You should research ahead of time what the average wage is for that job in your area.
