You are looking for a job.  The economy is teetering.  You feel a teensy bit anxious.  Or a lot anxious.

You might conclude all this puts you in a weak position with potential employers.  You may feel you have no choice but to knuckle under to their intrusive demands and arcane policies.

Especially that intrusive-ist and arcane-ist interview request of all:

Please tell us your salary history.

As you know, class, we’ve covered this subject before:

• “The Hardest Interview Question of All“
• “Salary Negotiation Just Got Easier“

Still, it’s a tough issue to deal with.  That’s why you’ll enjoy reading Nick Corcodilos’s recent post on one woman’s very smart & savvy approach to employers who ask for her salary history. 

Inspiring!
