When job applications have Desired salary. Should you put what u want? Or say open? Sometimes it wanted you to put $ amount, so I'm asking what if u just put "0" or open. Do they bypass your resume because they do want to know your salary expectations. Because it's hard to put an amount of you don't jno their base pay?

I've learned to either A. Tell them exactly what you're looking for or B. Give a range for ex: 60-65k. There's absolutely nothing wrong giving them a number. If it's in-person, be CONFIDENT when asked. Remember, you rock! You're ALL THAT and a-bag-of-chips. It's taken me years and experience to bodly answer a salary requirement! I think they would appreciate a direct answer.

I look up on glassdoor what they are paying, and if it's a range I'd accept, I would put the top end of what seems like they are paying. Usually, just a little bit more.

When I’m in desperate need bc I’ve been laid off, I always put the bare minimum that I’d be willing to accept bc I don’t want to waste my time in interviews for positions less than that and also don’t want them to bypass me bc I put too high of a number also. When I’m laid off I’ll accept significantly less than I would if I was applying while I have a job.
If I’m not in the midst of or expecting to be laid off, I put what I want bc I don’t want them contacting me nor do I want to waste time interviewing for roles for less than what it would take for me to leave my current role.
