Would you call hourly wages frozen at 40hrs a salary?

Only if you can work 32 hours and be paid for 40.

Sounds like he is describing a salary, non-exempt role. The salary is paid because an individual normally works a set amoint of hours per workweek, but can be adjusted downward for workweeks where an individual works less and OT has to be paid for workweeks were an individual works more than 40. Usually done for ease of payroll administration.
 
No, because then they can't make you work nights or weekends without paying you more. It's BETTER than a salary.

No, hours were frozen permanently last year at 40.

Salary history is normally asked on a separate page.

How old are you?

Have you had a job yet?

LOL! I've never had a career field job that required me to state my salary history on an application or resume. Everything is negotiated in person or over the phone after an interview. I'm 30. And yes, I have had several jobs. Only lowly retail stores when I was in high school required me to write down salary history and requirements on the application.

What field?

Mine has been all Technology and just about every one including this last one has a salary history section.

I've worked state universities, large semiconductor corps, and huge defense contractors.

Putting salary on a resume is doing it wrong.


Consider for a moment that you're not the only one who has ever had a job on this forum, and wonder to yourself, "why is everyone in this thread telling me that I'm doing it wrong?"

Most online applications including large Corporation intranet sites have a slary history section.

Where have you guys been working?

I have worked for two "large corporations" and they never asked for a salary history. At most, they just asked for my expectations.

Sorry, I meant that I was doing technical work at those place.

I think the custodial staff is coming in later. Should I ask about their experience? 😀


Also, UIUC, UCs, Lucent, Intel, Rotomola, Rockwell, Northrop... do I win? 😛
