2 things likely to happen if u tell them ur current sal is 7K:

1) they nego wif u and u get 6K.

2) they ask u to proof ur salary is 7k.

I leave it to u to think about which is more likely to happen.

Yes, it is P&C for you, and your right to let them know or not.

Many HR will require ur previose payslip to verify ur claims of what you currently earn.

Of course, there are exceptions, especially for high end job where it go by ur track record.

What i try to say is, if they ask and u duwan to show, might affect ur chances.

esp if ur ex company is MNC an ur level is executive, i will be somewhat skeptical if u tell me u earns 8K. cos many company have salary banding.

I doubt that was the reason u dint get job.

Watever u do, when u are at an interview, act as though this is the only job left in the world.

when u get offer letter baru decide

"i would be working on achieving all objectives assigned to me by the business, and continue to innovate and contribute to provide more value to the company"

textbook question deserves textbook answer.

if u r currently employed, wat is ur notice period?

in any case, no confirmation letter no deal (for me). i cant risk losing my current job for one that is not confirm.

in fact some (less common) cases the company can retract their offer letter (bad luck!)

we ask that crap all the time, its just part of our script/procedure.

u are missing the point, u are telling them "i wish to continue to be able to be of value to u in 5 yrs time"

if they ask u back "what if u cannot achieve, we terminate u?"
then u should answer them in a way u see fit, but not arrogant or rude.

"i am confident that i can achieve them. in the event of no achievement, i shall consult the management on how to remedy the situation"

joey is rite. if cannot achieve, do contingency. not resign/terminate. pariah question from interviewer during interview goes to show wat type of company they are, havent hire u alredi wanna fire u.

there are fools. so they themself prefer to sit in the same post for another 5 yrs/10 yrs? lol.

u r lucky not to join such potato company.

most interviewer wont answer that question directly if they have few candidates. most they will say is "we will call u if u r shortlisted". seldom ppl will say "u got d job", mostly also "i will make strong recommendation"

personelly i prefer not to ask.

u totally not in the running also they will say 50-50.

no need to ask this Q one, consider like buy 4D. strike or not, the result show only u will know.
