While looking at various job ads, I have come across a few that ask for the usual details-C.V. etc but also "expected salary". How does one approach this? I would be inclined to ignore this but some ads say all questions/criteria must be addressed or the application won't be considered. Please advise me. Thanks

It'll help considerably if you tell us WHERE you are looking to teach. Salary ranges vary considerably by parts of the world.

OK. Probably someone can give you an idea of a normal range of pay in those areas.

On applications, I would consider putting some small range reflecting, say, the top 30% of the norm. This gives both you and the school a bit of space to negotiate, based on details of the job, like hours/split shifts/travel time & expenses, etc. For example if you were a newbie going to Prague, I'd suggest putting something like 18-21,000/monthly, after taxes.

If you don't get quick responses here re: pay ranges for those areas, you might try the country forums.
