Often, when asked to provide salary requirements, entry-level folks will use data from sites such as Salary.com. However, take some advice from someone who has applied for entry-level jobs all across the country - those estimates are very, very high.
As an entry-level practitioner with 0-1 internships, your salary range will fall somewhere between $25,000 and $27,000. If you had 2 internships, your salary range will be $27,000-$30,000. If you had 3+, expect the low $30s.
So, when you go to include this information in your cover letter, keep this in mind. At my previous job, when I served as a hiring manager, we tossed any outrageous salary requirements without even looking at the resume.

Yes even i think that it would be better to have guidance from some one who has experience than looking for a website to help you out.
This is very helpful, but as it was posted a few years ago, I was wondering if the estimated ranges are still accurate?
I liked it. So much useful material. I read with great interest.
thanks for your information.... :)
