This is a subject that I broach often with clients. But
Harry Joiner from 97-job-search-tips.com wrote this essay below about three (3)
years ago. It is brilliant:
Do NOT tell the HR department or hiring manager of the
company with which you're interviewing how much you make in your present job.
Trust me, they'll always ask "How much are you making now?" Do NOT
tell them! They'll look irritated and ask again, as if you might not have
understood their question. But simply stick to your guns and politely say "Until
we reach an agreement, I'd prefer to keep my W-2 figures private. I understand
that the salary range for this job is $___, and that is acceptable for me."
End of story.
Just tell them that you wish to keep your W-2 figures
private and leave it at that. They'll brow beat you -- but if they're really
interested in you, they'll keep the dialogue moving.
Here's why: On the one hand, you might be the best
qualified candidate for the job, even though you make $20K less than the other
candidates under consideration. No good deed goes unpunished: If you tell the
company your salary, they will low-ball your offer -- thereby penalizing you
for the fact that you just happen to be underpaid in your current job. Happens
all the time.

Hello. Thanks for sharing this article. I know how hard it is to start speaking about pay rise. I believe all the recruiters never want to increase salary for us, regular employees. And what if you have an unexpected financial emergency? Inmy case, monthly payments on installment loan online turned out to be so much more convenient than using credit card or applying to traditional banks.
IF you have the right resume for the time so you are the best candidate for the job and that will change your life as well because you read the full info here and tell what others want to listen from you.
That si the fact that if your are underpaid for the current job so you want to quit that job and click here to read about the new jobs int he market so you need to be prepared for that.
When you have the skills from important site so there is no need to negotiate as they know that they have to offer you more than they give others.
