I don't mind disclosing my past salaries, or my expectations. Somebody has to go first. I don't see any benefit to holding back. And I respect the need to keep that information out of the public advertisement... I'm willing to participate in a phone screening, for maybe an hour or so without knowing their expectations, but I'm certainly not going to waste my time on an interview if they won't give me a range before that. _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] https://lists.lopsa.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/discuss This list provided by the League of Professional System Administrators http://lopsa.org/
