It’s easier for HR to assess based on your last drawn rather than your resume during interview. You think they can assess your capability during 1-2 hours of interview?

Fact is, if you are underpaid for your previous job, there must be a reason. If you believe you are worth that amount of money, then stick to your price. Just say no if the HR cannot offer you based on your asking price.

At the end of the day, if you do not want the job, there any many lining out there. If you can’t even get pass the stage of providing a payslip, there’s nothing really to negotiate with the HR anymore.
