Did you ever lie about your salary?
I heard this incident from a friend of mine, it's quite, erm.. educating. If you did that before, then you should be glad that no one found out and don't do it again! So what is it about?
It is about the salary. You know when we go for interviews, normally we were required to fill up an application form. In that form, there will be a place where you have to state all your past working experience including the current one. The name of the company, the address, the phone number, the salary, the position and etc.
There's this guy, he went to a company for interview. When he filled up the form, he lied about his current salary. He's earning about 2.5K per month, but at the column where required him to fill up his current salary, he put down 3.5K. Yes, he added extra 1K. Why he do that? So that he can asked for a higher salary in this company.
If you put 2.5K as your current salary, your expected salary you can't asked for 4K! But if you put 3.5K as your current salary, then it's quite reasonable if you asked for 4K. So this guy went through the first interview well, giving a good impression to the interviewer. He was asked to go for a 2nd interview, which is good, cos normally 2nd interview will discussed about the benefits + the salary. So during this 2nd interview, they required him to bring his current salary slip.
Oh No!! current salary slip? If he bring, that means they will know he's actually earning 2.5K and not 3.5K!!! if he don't bring, what can he give as an excuse? So how? He gave up the job because he can't possibly showed them his current salary slip.
That is why, we should not lie about our salary, in case you don't know, some companies (especially big companies) will call and asked your current company's HR about your salary when they decided to hire you, or like this guy's comp, they will asked him to provide his pay slip. That is why, better don't lie else you'll lose a great job, like him...
