What if they don't ask?
For example, let's say there is a job posting... it lists the job duties/responibilities, the "requirements" of the canadates to be considered for the job, and that a salary history is required. In other words, they won't give a range of what that position will be paid.
As paranoid as this is, I honestly wouldn't doubt if there was a candidate- in this example, we'll use Mary Sue - that met all the requirements, etc., but included a salary history that was ridiculously low for the field.
So Mary Sue is called in for an interview and they think she is a good candidate, but since her salary history is kind of low, they knock a couple thousand or whatever off what they were planning on paying before... and they
tell her (notice I didn't say "ask") what the pay would be.
That sucks, but that's just business sometimes. That was my concern w/ the whole salary history thing. And I wasn't planning on lying either.. that's just asking for trouble
