So i worked at a parking garage at a school (that i dont attend) and got paid minimum wage but i liked my job cause i can study for school easily and i worked there for about 3years. when i was on campus i was talking to a guy that worked as a parking employee in my school and he said they pay a lot more then my current job, so i applied. i was above the requirements because i had experience and i was trained in all aspects of parking in a university setting....but theres one thing.... they advertised that the pay range was about $11- $13hr for the part time job...for reasons unknown to me i put that i wanted to get paid the $13 amount in the range of pay they advertised for the job because of my experience. i specifically said "And if its no trouble, I also humbly ask for the $13 dollars an hour rate posted on the description of this job posting due to my experience. "....i know its a bad idea but will it hurt my chances of getting hired that much??

I would say yes it will hurt. They now know (or think they know) your personality. You sound pushy and demanding and they will not want an employee like that. At least now you know for next time.

Honestly...probably. If they know right off the bat you want the highest amount, but then they later find someone that will do it for $11, then they will hire that person. It's really not reasonable to talk about wages until after an interview or two. If a company asks you what you want to get paid, ask them what the job pays. You are interviewing them as much as they are you.

If the range is good, then tell them that. But 11 is better than minimum wage. Don't be greedy when the economy is so low.
