Good evening Nairalanders,

I went for an interview yesterday and among questions that was ask in the written interview is "How much was your salary in the previous school where you worked?".
I wrote " it's confidential " because I thought it isn't formal to be asking such question in an interview.

So, during the oral interview, they asked while I didn't write the amount, I told them I don't want to disclose it and I don't think it's formal. I decided not to argue it further when the principal said it's formal, even though I didn't disclose the amount in the end.

So, my people, have you ever experienced such?
And is it formal to ask applicants of the exact amount they receive as salary in the organisation where they formerly work?


Please help push it to the front page...

NwaAmaikpe:





It is not wrong.

You stood your ground...it is your right not to disclose personal informations to employers just as it is your right to remain jobless.

I admire your doggedness and arrogance in poverty...you refused to answer it in your written interview and you got a clue to remedy this basic goof in the oral interview but your village people got the best of you.

I won't blame them for not eventually employing you either. Someone who writes like this is not fit to be a janitor in a local school let alone a teacher.

Okuda:


it is not standard. it is also not by force. you guys should stop turning abnormality to normal. even abroad, there is nowhere they would ask you to write it dow, the highest is expectation and maybe during an interview on a casual note, they can ask. you are not obliged to answer that question. they should tender their offer, if it sits well with you, fine, if not, you either ask for something better or don't accept it.!

thesilentman:

The Op did nothing wrong.I was once an headteacher and i can tell u that the motive behind that question is to know how to cheat him or at most to know if they can afford his service.He could have given a bogus amount though.His choice.

OSASBOI:
it is normal, during my interview, the expatriate asked me same question though my formal job was a private school teaching job and my salary then was 15k, but I monster courage and told the man 30k, to my suprise he was shocked; and like everything in a month? I said yes, he now said ok, the basic rate is 11k and after every it should fall around 75k to 80k and things will get bigger as the years goes by, i didn't believe it until my first salary and i got 91k+. that was some eleven years ago.

Daniwes:


I never disclosed this in my current job, but goodluck with finding new employees.

peeps4u:
You're sick upstairs. Looking for a job doesn't mean he is poor or jobless. Be reasonable for once. You dont need to always post gibberish to amass likes on NL.
BTW, he has a right to keep whatever info he feels private confidential. Have some dignity Please.

BabaIbo:
You should have disclosed it, better still increase it.

If it was 300k, you can say 350k or 400k...

That will give them the believe that you are open, meJanwhile you added something.

Enudapan:
Nah eh! No qualms All this trashy questions b4 you are been employed When you can easily Start up a bombing career at home with No stress

casiello:

Exactly. I'm shocked at the mentality displayed here.

HarunaWest:

Nope.. It's not at your discretion. Especially when there is job experience or expertise involved.

tspun:
U r not ready for the job, if I were to b the employer, won't even call you back, I never employ u, you don day give me headache

iHart:
I hate it when employers want to use your last salary to determine how they will be paying you.


I can remember an interview i attended. Before the interview, i managed to find out that they paid #80, 000 per month for that position. The interview was a back and forth thing until they referred me to the owner of the company. The MD needed somebody with the kind of experience i had. Me, i was tired of working in all those #30, 000 per month job, so i needed an upgrade. When the MD asked me what was my last pay in the last place i worked, i told him #35, 000. He said he was going to start paying me #30, 000, after three months he will see how i am gaining experience, then he will increase my salary. I bluntly turned down the job based on the salary. The MD asked me to go home and rethink the offer, that no job seeker turns down his offer. I went home and the next morning, just for courtesy sake, i called him and told him i was not interested. The man was shocked.

If you want to employ people, employ them and tell them what you will pay. If it is okay by them, they resume work.

casiello:


Wrong advice! Lies and misrepresentation should be avoided during interviews.

Salary information is confidential and should revealed at interviewee's oldiscretion

Okuda:


bullshit. what happened to your work certificate. do they not give that after leaving a former job?

Freestainworld:
Nothing is absolutely wrong with that, it is left for you to answer or not.

AntiWailer:


They are not scarce to get bro. Na the skill set dey scarce.

It is not a big deal to answer what u earn currently and also insist on what offer u will consider.

When u grow to that level u will reveal with ease and even let them u have existing liabilities to pass to then where necessary.

AntiWailer:


Banks , Telco

Not your usual 30k per month mushroom jobs.
