RE: salary & resume issues

[Scott Wahl <wahl_scott -at- yahoo -dot- ca>]

Of course, this assumes that your salary expectations
are much _higher_ than your salary at your current (or
previous) job.

But it can work the other way, especially if you still
have a job. If you are happy with your current salary,
and think it fairly reflects the market, then this can
be an excellent negotiating tool: you're not just
telling a potential employer what you'd _like_ to
make. You're telling them what you _are_ making, with
the implication that you're not going to take a job
that won't pay at least a little bit more than what
you're making now.
