Topic: Why Do Employers ask for Present Salary & Expected Salary?

Hello house,

This issue has really been bothering me, 'cos i dont know the intent of that employers hope to achieve by asking of my Previous/Present & my Expected renumeration.

Please give me a clue to this, so i will be better equiped to answering them
Thanks

it is a criteria to either employ you or not
if you are too expensive you will be droped and if you are too cheap they will be lucky to have you.
I said so because i once attended an interview where i was compelled to say my mind(90k) while others said theirs(50k,40k,70k)
well, they were called for 480k per annum(40k).IMAGINE and this is an embassy job.
thereafter, the interviewer recommended me after 3 weeks to another company based on my previous perfomance at the interview.then i was called by this new expatriate and the issue vof money came up i told him that i will go for 100k per month(counter offer to what they expected)well i was assured that i MAY be called if they consider me.
WHAT IS THERE IS THAT YOU SHOULD PRONOUNCE THE AMOUNT YOU WILL NOT REGRET LATTER WHEN YOU GET THE JOB...AN AMOUNT YOU WILL BE CONTENDED WORKING FOR...AND BE WILLING TO DO THE JOB.
