...and then they want a salary history.
Ugh...yeah, I've run into that on a couple of the jobs I've applied for. As if what I made in the past in a completely different geographic area and for a coupletely different industry has any bearing on what the usual salary should be here.
The web form for one place I applied made that a REQUIRED field. That's just wrong, in my opinion!
LOL! So true!
They want to know what you've been making even before telling you what they are willing to pay.
Why? So they can low-ball you from the get-go? Puhleeeze!
