I've never done that. I've had jobs that have asked salary expectations in the application process, though.

Yeah, me either. Thought it was a little odd, but I wasn't sure if that was common practice (these were like GS-12 - 15 types).

I'm pretty sure we've talked about the salary expectation question in this thread before.

Odd question: do you guys put your pay amount/scale on resumes? I've noticed a couple times now when looking at other's resumes that they do.

Save it for the intro email or interview.

i've never seen it, maybe it's appropriate for a highly competitive field like programming/computer security?  Honestly, i would find it refreshing if someone would tell me up front what they are looking for, but i'm guessing most would take offense.

No - let your experience do the talking - hiring managers can first guess at salary, then bring it up if you make the interview stage.

What's it take to get a job at an ABC store in Virginia?

You have to be 21 and have had your rights restored by the Governor.

I applaud our good Governor for being progressive and enabling rehabilitated people to be better able to return to society's fold.

Agree - after all, sometimes people make mistakes

Houston must be all over this.

Oh man I'm totes applying to that. That's the first listing I've ever seen that doesn't use a Microsoft/MSSQL environment (which I consider to show a bit of an advanced approach).

Just Microsoft SQL Server, I'm all over MySQL/Postgres. I'm sure I could figure it out, but living in a Microsoft world for developing software seems to me (coming from a more Linux-ish background) fraught with perils/delays/money.

10/4. I've only messed around with MSSQL through Access with work. Used MySQL on the Mac. Pro with neither ha. Totally agree with you. Good luck!

I'll probably just hit the books (U.S.C. for FLSA, for us) if I get a call.

I know these are basically new start-up roles for the team, so it would be pretty awesome for someone to get into!

Edit: you would also have to move to CO, which isn't the worst thing in the world!

If one of the questions is "Do you belong to WNFF?" I'd suggest they plead ignorance...
