I disagree. This shows that you'll pretty much take anything they offer, because you don't know what you expect. If you put a number higher than what you hope to get, they can still bargain you down a bit, and you'll end up with what you wanted. It also shows you have confidence in yourself and your work.
You don't want to work for a company who will take the person who wants the least money, they'll never give you a raise.

Place "Negotiable" in that your salary requirements.
In the interview, if asked again for your salary requirements; throw the question back at the interviewer by saying, "What is the normal salary for this position?"
The employer already has a budget set aside for this position. This puts the heat back on him/her to tell you what your limits are.
If you HAVE to say a salary use a wide range. Example "I am looking to earn from 45,000-55,000 a year".

I agree with Juan about "Negotiable." The salary range question is often a bit of a test - a company doesn't want to hire someone who thinks they're underpaid because they won't be happy. They also don't want someone who isn't confident enough to ask for what they're worth. Dodge this question like the plague!

"Negotiable" is good. If there's room, put "commesurate with my skills and experience".

I put open on job applications all the time unless I already know what the start up pay is.

It is important that you have an idea about what the typical salary RANGE is for that position in that area. You can use salary.com or online.onetcenter.org to find out what that range would be. You could also call the HR department, but I would not give your name:). Negotiable is certainly acceptable, however, the BEST is to have done your homework ahead of time. In interviews as well, offer a range (i.e. $30k-$35k). This way you have some negotiating room and leverage.

well i took a application course to show me how to do this when i was in an independent living program and they say to put open. because negotiable means that you are willing to negotiate not that you are open to whatever that particular job pays. employers will not negotiate their starting pay!!! they will move on to other applicants.

"open" says you have no idea what you are worth nor did you do any research. You can use sites like salary.com, ONET, Bureau of Labor and Statistics to get salary ranges for a particular job in your area. You should know that much going in.

Actually you're supposed to put what your last job paid you because at most places they are required to pay you above what you made before
