What salary are you expecting? It's a question dreaded by a lot of candidates. You don't want to sell yourself short, and you don't want to price yourself out of the running.
Jen Rallis, author of Ugly Resumes Get Jobs, says turning the tables is your best answer. What salary range are you willing to pay for the position? Once you've been given that range, you should be prepared to respond. It's either something you can work with, or not.
Another approach is to answer with your own range. It's best to do a little research on what similar positions in the field are paying. Keep in mind the employer will most likely focus on the low end of any range you give, so make sure you're comfortable with that.
