"Strong words from readers who refuse to reveal their salary history (or
show actual pay stubs) before being hired.
What should you do when they ask about your salary?
"I've been recruiting IT people for 14 years. Try asking the question back
on the prospective employer... Do you want ex-employees of this company
divulging that information? More often than not, HR is the one requesting
past salary information. It's usually a bluff that a potential offer would
be rescinded if a candidate refuses to divulge past salary history. I've
seen hiring managers get very upset with their HR departments when they play
this game." - Tony Pannagl"
