[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]I fully agree that it's acceptable to volunteer your most recent salary history, but probably not at the very first meeting. 
It would be a red flag if anyone felt she could demand to know before I was comfortable disclosing personal finances.

I agree that this is an issue at the final stages of interviewing, not at the first meeting.[/quote]

If you apply for any type of job that has a written (or online) application form, you would be required to provide this information before ever getting an interview.  And in EVERY profession, every position is different, blah blah, etc.  By making lengthy arguments that professional standards don't apply to you, you are arguing that you are not a professional.  And again, telling potential employers that you don't show your salary history "on the first date" will only make them wonder what you're trying to hide.

Good luck with your job search.[/quote]
Too bad most MBs have zero experience hiring, so they have none of the "professional" ethics either, nor any of the smarts required to make and retain a good hire. That's why many of them throw in the towel and hire an agency to do it. Any even then, we have the endless rants on this forum. See how it all adds up? [/quote]
