[QUOTE="Jessica Booker, post: 75544, member: 2672"] If anything it’s actually to ensure they don’t waste their time with people whose earning expectations are above what they can pay. You’d be surprised how many people who expect a salary of £40k will apply for a job that’s paying less than £25k. Strangely employers don’t tend to “underpay” you - it’s not in their interests to do so because you’ll be at a much higher risk of leaving to go elsewhere for a better salary. They tend to have an idea of what they will pay (usually a salary band) and will weigh up your experience and think where you will be within that band. Two people applying to the same role could be offered two very different salaries, where one could have more experience/qualifications in the field than the next. It’s very rarely the case that you just go with the person with the lowest salary expectations, you just tend to weigh up the candidates and consider whether they present value for money and are going to be motivated to do the job on that salary. With your salary expectations, you have to weigh up what you have been earning and how much you think the role will pay, as well as how much experience you have an then try to come to a logical conclusion based on those variables.
