Many jobs require you to specify the desired salary range. Don't fall for this trick! Many employers screen this way and some even use it against you. Let's talk about few examples... Many employers are trying to hire for low wages and will screen less demanding candidates. Other employers will test you for no apparent reason just to see what's more important for you: the job or the money. In any case, your best bet is to leave that field blank and/or open for negotiation. This way you show your interest for the money after your interest for the job and get a higher chance of landing an interview to show your strong qualifications. You are always welcome to indicate how much you are currently making if it comes up in the interview to give an idea if the company can afford you.
