<prompt> Human: I have been with my company for 7 years now and Im applying for a supervisor position. Currently I am making about 33,100 per year. I have never been paid salary before so I have no clue what to ask for starting pay. This company has low balled me in the past, I will be very upset with myself if I let that happen again. Currently I am already considered the supervisor for my shift, just not getting paid for it. The company has finally posted the job and I have already applied for it no questions on the application about compensation. What is a reasonable starting salary for me? Please help, I am truly clueless here. Assistant: I like to refer to the Occupational Employment Statistics from the Bureau of Labor Statistics to get an idea of what medianaverage rates are in different regions. Its broken up by occupational profiles. By your post, it sounds like you might a manufacturing floor supervisor? In which case: Scroll to the bottom to see wages by area. When you hover your mouse over an area, itll give you mean and percentile wages.Human: Yes you are correct! That is a real eye opener, my states average is way higher than what I was considering reasonable. Thank you so much  <response>: Also check glassdoor.com.
