Where and how do I put in my salary requirements (resume or cover letter)?

Put it in the cover letter. The resume is to show your experience and to impress them with the value you'd bring to them. And put it as an annual salary.

First you need a fantastic looking template to work from. Then you focus on your achievements and ambitions. You will place your employment history in chronological order to ensure a time line is followed. If you search a few resume sites you should be able to get a few paragraphs with outstanding content you can place within the resume. Get a great looking cover letter as well. It is all designed to be outstanding from other plain resumes the employer will receive. With the pay requirements search for similar position pay rates over Yahoo search for a comparison of the wage and place it on the covering letter.

You can put a section in your resume at the bottom labeled salary requirements. I normally put a starting salary around XX, XXXX (you fill in the blanks) and then mention the benefits that you are looking for as well. I would personally prepare two separate resumes, one listing the salary requirement and a second one not mentioning what you are looking for. Only send the one with the requirements when an ad states to list your salary requirements.

Hmmm i normally put in my resume...
