Why don't people put wages in their job descriptions now Monts?
If it's below what I need then I've wasted both of our time. And I can't really ring them up and say "ahhh much????" before I even bother to rewrite my CV.

The want you to tell them your current salary first.
So that if they were prepared to pay way more than that they won't have to if they want to hire you.

I've done this myself I have to confess.
'please apply giving current salary details to....'

That's bollocks though.
Because I tell them my current (shit) salary, that doesn't take into account that I'll be missing possible redundancy payment. Be working longer hours, commuting and won't be getting an NHS pension. I would turn the job down if it's not £15k more than my current honestly.

Then inflate yours when you apply.
If you get offered the job, then tell them at that point before they check references, and give them the reasons why you did so.

Then you look 'shrewd' not 'a liar'

I might just threaten to petrol bomb their office if they don't tell me their budget.

This is a much better idea.
