What would you do if you interview for a 45-50K job, they say, and find it on Monster advertised for 50-60K?

This is a pretty common situation. Company recruiters work within a salary range when hiring for a certain position. You are now at an advantage, because you know there is money left on the table. Wait until they give you a formal offer, then counter offer with a higher salary.

I will tell you that you don't want that job. First off it is not a job, it is a scam. I have never seen one of those positions that didn't charge you money for their book. The book will get you into that business (yea right), the book is full of how to do it. But most of the information in the book is old an out of date. The web sites have long disappeared. Once they have your money they really don't have to deliver anything. Hope this helps

I'd go ahead and list it anyway, it's better to be honest and if you qualify you'll get the job and if you don't then that company isn't probably right for you anyway

Flood the marketplace. Send out as many paper resumes as you can, as well as doing monster.com and such. Paper resumes say alot though.

You did the right thing by being honest.  Say you are hired and befriend someone and start discussing why you left your previous position and you let it slip that you were grossly underpaid at that position.  That kind of information can get back to your boss or personnel department and you could then be fired from the position for providing false information on your job application!  Most of the job applicants I have interviewed over the years were making below the starting salary of the position for which they were applying.  It is a natural progression to move up the salary ladder with a job change.  Perhaps there are other factors you could mention that enhance your current position which don't necessarily involve monetary compensation, such as additional vacation time, flexible work hours, more paid holidays, a short commute, or employer 401(k) matches.  Most employers want to know where the applicant's salary requirements fit into the salary range for their position, otherwise, they could be wasting their time with someone who has higher expectations.  Once the position is offered, you should then be prepared to negotiate the best possible salary.

That's hard to say, since the question is so vague.\n\nIf you're looking at a reputable company's website, the job opportunities are real. If you're looking at a job board, such as Monster or HotJobs, you're probably going to get a mix of real postings and then others such as MLM projects.\n\nMy personal rule of thumb. If someone wants you to invest money for the job, it's not real. If it all sounds too good to be true, it's probably not real, either.

Make sure your experienced and qualified for that position.  When I got my current job, Department Manager, at the interview I explained  all my experience and how I was qualified for the position and also explained even though the salary was good, unfortunately I would struggle with it (single parent) and is it negotiable, I also explained that I was good, very good at my job.  She called the Area Manager and they offered me 2 grand more!  After 1 year was promoted to Deputy Manager with a much larger salary.

You should not state how much you want to make on your coverletter, or how much you made at previous jobs on your resume, unless this is requested. You should not bring up money on the first interview. I have noticed that they will tell you a bit about benefits and salary at the end of the interview. Ask them when they are planning to make a decision. That way they will tell you when they want to finish interviewing and hire, or if they are planning second interviews with top candidates. It may seem like a "waste of gas", but at least your getting interviews. I know some people looking for jobs that haven't even got many of them.

You're not.\n\nExcept for high-level executive positions where salary is extremely negotiable, companies today pretty much have all the market salary data on a position and unless it's a very small company, they will just make an offer at the market level.\n\nHere's a tip though - they usually make you an offer at the lower end of a $5k range, usually to give themselves room if you decide to negotiate.  So you can basically negotiate up by about $5k, but not much more than that, because they've done their research too.\n\nWhat you don't have to worry about is companies lowballing you.  They just don't do that.\n\nTherefore, it's key for you to represent yourself well in the interview.  Most salary ranges are primarily affected by your years of experience, so the offer will be made based on that.  If you appear competent in the interview (i.e. you get an offer at all), it will most likely be an accurate one based on your experience level.

DO NOT DO IT!  They are going to ask you for like $300 up front, I have never heard of anyone who has made that back.  My rule of thumb is you should never be paying to work for someone.
