Good Morning John,
Regarding "Salary History." When I see salaries that go up and down, it causes me ask more questions of the candidate as to why did they take a job, often with increased responsiblities, that paid less.  When I see salaries that only go up, it causes me to ask a different set of questions.

For those applying for a position(s) and those employing' this question is
for you.

1.  Salary history.  On a job announcement, if an employer ask for your
"salary history"
 is it required to provide the exact salary or is a range ample?   Some
sources say leave
it off, none of their business.  However, I see this as an immediate way to
"round file"
candidates if they do not include such information or if they made to much
or to little in
the past.  What is your opinion and the purpose of such information?

2.  Letters of reference:  I see more and more employers not only asking for
a list of three
references, but actual "letter of references."   I do not believe my
references would like
to submit a "new" letter each time I apply for a position or send me 100
letters for my
use, especially when one now has to appy for numerious positions to obtain
employment.

Would "quality" printed copies be suitable and not sending the orginal?

Thanks in advance,

John
