Application help!

What is a good way to say on an application:

Reason for leaving: They're not paying me enough.

I was going to put "Lack of Advancement" , but I've only been at my current job for a year. Any suggestions?

I'm not sure of the best way to word it... but you could try something along the lines of how the old job isn't making enough to make ends meet... not making enough to pay bills with... something along those lines.. unless of course you want a higher paying job for purely material non-necessity reasons....

I would put something like "I really enjoyed the job but I need an increase in my salary for living expenses".

Compensation Inadequate


You can expand upon that
"compensation not in line with responsibilities"
"compensation did not reflect increased responsibilities""compensation not in line with cost of living"
OR
"compensation sucks" No wait..better not!

I go by the old standby...."lack of advancement"
