Ask the experts

Do salary requirements really matter?

Job seeker James D. asks: "Sometimes, even though I have relevant experience and education, when I apply to jobs I get an instant reply that I'm not a good match. Could I be asking for too high a salary?"

Our experts say: It’s possible, but not likely. It sounds like you’re encountering screening questions. Each of these questions comes from the employer and is designed to identify the people who are wrong or wouldn’t be compatible for the position. Since there is no way for us to know which screening question is to blame, there is no way to know what exactly the problem is. Keep applying and take your time answering screening questions and see if that helps. Good luck!
