If you ask for an average amount within that range you're probably safe. If you ask for a higher amount within that range then be prepared to show those personal skills that will justify the higher pay.Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17560481081321213639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15332485.post-32869918392678944642009-03-31T07:06:00.000-07:002009-03-31T07:06:00.000-07:00I hate that question with a passion.
