I usually ask for the "competitive rate" the agency is offering if this is requested in the cover letter. I agree with doing a search regarding what the average salary is for what you are applying for in YOUR AREA. Salaries obviously vary around the country. I also gotta say as an aside for everyone, please do not post your expected salary on your resume. And for the love of God, if you are applying for a SOCIAL WORKER position and you barely have a BA degree do NOT write on the top of your resume "I am requesting to start at $80,000 per year". I swear, we got a resume from some woman this past week that said that. I don't think the agency ADMINISTRATORS make that much!!!! (Which also goes along with make sure you have the experience and credentials for what you are applying for.........but hey, that's another topic right?).
