That low ball spread makes me discredit the organization. I might have taken the higher end, depending on housing costs (I could spend $3k less a month and break even), But I'm not going to go through the process for them to say "oh, well,we start everybody out at $56k"

So basically you're ruling out a company based on an assumption?

I don't care if you have 25 years flipping burgers or one month..... 25 years does not necessarily convert to higher pay. I just need you to make 12 burgers and 42 seconds just like any high school kid to do.

Jesus, another crappy example. Yeah, if I want you do one thing, I'm not paying you more because you did one thing for 25 years.

Here's a portion of the requirements for one position I recently saw posted in Texas:

quote:

Career background: at least 10 years of relevant work experience, including at least 5 years in a leadership or senior management position with comparable staff and budget, setting strategic direction, and planning and executing its implementation is required. Non-profit or membership association experience would be a plus, as would experience in managing telecommuting/contract staff in key functions.

So let's say I have one applicant that meets the bare minimum requirements, and another that has 20 years experience and 10 years in senior management--should they both be offered the same amount of money? Both meet the requirements, but one clearly has more proven experience in a management role than the other.
