    It means what would you like to make for the job they are posting; and what is the least you will accept. Got that ?

    Just be clear that you may not get anything near your desired salary, so make sure you can afford to put a high minimum salary in case that's what you will get. My son just got a job and put an outrageous desired salary, and he received less than half of that. Hopefully, you can show why you deserve that desired salary. Good luck!

    Say "Open" or "Negotiable." Or, if you know what the job pays, put a range. If the job usually pays $12/hr. put down $11-15/hr.
