Question for Recruiters

If the "what is your salary" question is required, and I say Negotiable, rather than giving a range.... does my resume get thrown out?

If you don’t give low number they will go to someone else who will. A sad frightening trend these days.

I always say negotiable. If you give a number, you may hurt your chances of obtaining a great salary, if you throw out too low of a number. If your number is too high, same scenario. Flip it on them and ask, what is the range for this position once they bring it up after the interview. Putting negotiable is definitely a good choice.

I started flipping the question. I ask the range they have in mind for the position.
