Find Your Dream Job Listener Question: Salary In the Interview

This week’s question comes from Sue Crawford, of Corvallis, Oregon:

“I've come across several hiring employers who start the process with the question, "What are your salary requirements?". How do you address this? It seems like if you put a high number you will be cut immediately, and if you put a low number, you are selling yourself short and potentially leaving money on the table. What to do??”
