What’s the best strategy when a job posting asks that you include your salary requirements?
As a general rule, do not offer up any salary information any sooner than necessary but sometimes a job posting will require salary requirements.
In this case, address it in the cover letter, never on your resume. Include a short paragraph in your cover letter that lists the salary range for positions for which you’re presently interviewing or being considered. Be sure to quote a dollar range, never an exact figure, to allow yourself negotiation room later on in the process.
