At
some point during your application you will be asked
about your salary expectations, so its up to you to
determine this. Pitch too high, and you might be
cutting yourself out of an interview, too low, and
you might undermine your application.
The following websites carry a selection of salary
surveys:-
www.michaelpage.com.au (free)
www.hays.com.au (free)
www.salaryzone.com.au (free)
www.payscale.com.au (charges required)
Although these sites are useful, their analysis can
be a little generic.
Another popular choice is to talk with a
recruitment agency. Try to use more than one
recruiter as opinions can differ. If your main
focus for finding work is purely financially
motivated, then you will need to provide a very
solid case to increase your base salary by more than
15 -20%.
Remember, your market worth is only a matter of
what a prospective employer is willing to pay for
your services, not what you think they should pay
you.
