The answer to this really depends on both the job and the information I have about their standard rate of pay.
Pay rate per hour?
10/23/2012
10 or above
10/23/2012
I would be stoked to have a minimum wage job (where I don't have to interact with other people).
10/23/2012
For me around 40-55
10/23/2012
anything above minimum wage
10/24/2012
It has been so long since I had to apply. I will not do a logo design for under $50.00 though and if you want a hand drawn--start thinking at least three figures!!
10/24/2012
It depends on the job, but at least above minimum, unless it's for experience.
10/24/2012
I have been making minimum wage for four years, so anything above minimum I will gladly take!

I'm self employed and I will not work for less than $15/hour.
10/24/2012
I'm more likely to ask them what the job pays than the other way around. That being said, I've worked in a couple of different fields and been paid as much as $16 per hour. I work in a different field and make less than that now, but I won't accept a job for less than $10 - $12 per hour unless I'm really desperate.

If pinned into a corner about it, it's best to have been informed beforehand on what is the average pay rate for that career field in your area - as well as cost-of-living and such taken into account. There's a huge difference in pay between - say - the exact same bakery job in New York ($25/hr) and Florida ($9/hr). Giving too high of a figure will get you booted out, and giving too low of a figure will get you taken advantage of. Go for an upper middle number, which can be negotiated with. Of course there is always what my response to the poll would be:
"What is the range you are willing to offer?" less

You need to know what is fair, and what your experience is worth.

Depends on the job but I tend to go for 10 bucks an hour.

There are a lot of gaps in your answer selection choices. You really needed an "other". Your pay scale does not cover anyone here in a professional or degreed job search, and I don't know anyone for whom "money is not an issue". However, honestly, none of these answers is correct for a job interview, really. Having been part of the interview process for hiring people at my place of employment for over 15 years, when it comes time for the money discussion, I expect the potential hire to ask what the salary range is, what the benefits are, and then ask me to provide them a written offer. Our company pays what it pays. Most companies have little wiggle room, and it is all based on the new hires background.

Thank you for your response - I'm quite delighted that the interviewer is not playing games and setting traps in that respect (college career planning classes are extremely vocal about the question being a trap to get rid of a candidate). Your reply has given me hope. ^_^

A job period would be great for me
12/29/2012
I'm still a student so I just expect at least 8, but in a few months I'd definitely say more.
12/29/2012
It all depends on what the job is.
12/29/2012
anything over minimum wage is good by me. minimum wage is 8.80 here.
12/29/2012
I make 8.20 an hour as a student worker at my school. My mom is picky as hell with work though, she has a price limit for everything and I feel like it effects her work a little and her attitude but I can't judge.
