What's the best way to answer the salary expectation question during a job
interview? This is for church employment, where all I'm given with regards to salary is a level on a pay scale.

Zero need to tell them what you currently make. Don't anchor yourself to that number.

This. Nearly all employers want to pay you as minimally as possible.

You don't need to know their range. Study the market and find out what your own range is for the job and then ask them

They typically don't want to pay you starting in the upper half of that pay scale. At least, from the places I have

This is called a comp ratio - and is good advice. Coming in at the top of the range is not a good place to be in.

Some bad advice here... you should NEVER give out a number, it can only hurt you
