Providing Your Salary History
 

Salary History Poll

Are employers entitled to your salary history or just plain nosey asking about something you might not even tell your best friend?

Should employers base salary offers on what you've made in the past or on your experience and the job requirements?

Do recruiters want to know your salary history or requirement up front just so they know if you're even in the ballpark, or are they quickly calculating their commissions so they know how much effort to expend on your behalf?

Voice your opinion confidentially in the poll or just click Current Results to see what others say.
