I'm a hiring manager, and with a less-then-booming economy you won't be
surprised to hear that I have a budget and salary slots I have to manage.
It's like having a fantasy-league sports team with a salary cap. I am hiring
right now, and there are people applying who have far more skills and
experience than I require for the position available. They also have made,
and naturally ask for, far more than I can pay them. They won't do
entry-level work, and I won't pay them top dollar. No harm, no foul. An
honest answer to the salary question saves everyone time and disappointment.
I wish them luck.
By the way, on another matter, it's time to move on past Bill Clinton. We
have a new occupant of the White House now. You had best pay attention to
what *he's* saying.
Humph.
