Having been primarily an actor or doing computer installation/support privately, I haven't the foggiest idea what certain jobs are typically salaried at. Any sites that might help me nail down what I "require" when I send off a resume?

edit: To clarify, I realize that it's not generally required, but I came across a couple favorable listings that request it. Flexible? I'll just about play frickin Gumby right now to line up a job. ;)

You don't *have* to put salary reqs on a resume. If it's requested, surf the net a little and see what the going rate is. Be willing to be flexible. If you're working through a recruiter, they'll try to get you the most reasonable/upper end salary they can, since their commission is based on that.
