First things first. Everyone has a price. You have a price tag and I have one too. Let me ask you, would you work for free? If so, care to wash my car this weekend? Do you know what is deemed PRIVATE & CONFIDENTIAL? If such notion were not able being understood by you, why do I want to hire you? You do not know how to keep your bloody mouth shut when matters are viewed as private and confidential? Goodness gracious...I'm making bloody sure I won't be sharing my meals with you. 

Always remember, salary is a judgment of value. How much is your value? It differs from one individual to another, right? I have experience in Human Resource Management and I received tonnes of employment documents during my tenure in HRM. One thing I would like to share here is, when you divulge your salary history, you put yourself in a corner that's very difficult to negotiate your way out of.

Once you have divulge your salary history, you give up your negotiating leverage. Would you want to lose your leverage? If the HRM personnel wants to verify if you have worked in the stated work place previously, by all means, make a courtesy call. It would be very much appreciated. It requires that you be polite and firm.

Always know how and when to draw a line for your self. Even if you were being pressured.
