<prompt> Human: Im applying for jobs and I wonder if Im giving too much information away by putting my current salary down. To be fair, I work in a government position so if they wanted to, they could find out what I make pretty easily by googling it.Similarly, should I be putting my desired salary down? If they know my starting and my desired, I feel like theyll have a better chance at low balling me. I saw on some previous thread people suggested writing negotiable instead of a number.What gives me the best chance of an interview without making me look bad?  <response>: If youre dealing with a recruiter, ask them what the target salary range for the position is. I dont ever tell them my current salary. If Im forced to write in a desired salary, I will usually take the lowest number Id be happy to accept and add 10-15 to that.
