well my company can find out what i made at two of my previous employers, because my company is in hr outsourcing and my two previous employers where my current companies clients. the company that i work for already had my salary data


though i dont know your specific situation, i think its a bad move to not allow a future employer to not contact your current employer. it shows that you have something to hide, whether or not you do. its also impolite not to let your current employer know what your plans are. employers are understanding that people want to be challanged more or make changes in their life.

plus, out of experience, companies already have a good idea (if not a predetermined) salary. When i graduated from college on my first job applications/resumes, i was asking for a salary that was about $5000 less then what i was hired for, and a salary history that is typical of a college student. My company started me at the starting salary that they gave to everyone who were entering my position right out of college.
