well just to share with my experience of recruiter.

I only ask my candidate to send me his payslip in pdf format whenever our client is neeeded.. and that also applied after the interview or our client request it to bring together in interview. well they just want to justify your current n asking salary. the market allowed u to request 30% increment from your current salary, and not from rm 1000 to rm 2000 that is alot then 30%

in other hand which stand to our client, they just want to play safe and dowan to hired someone that is over value or over qualified.

so if ur current salary is 1.6k and u wanna compare with degree grad salary.. u must think 1st. what u can contribute to the company? what u can improve the company? what is ur experience? handle any big project? what is ur academic  level? and lastly what makes u worth the rm1000 increment?

all the company wanna hired someone who want the JOB and not work and want the SALARY. if u ask more but u cannot supplied what their need.. no point to ask alot of increment..

think that u as the boss.. will u hired a degree fresh grad with no working experience for a salary of 3k in ur company? whereby u need to teach n lead them for all the daily routine.. will u?

commonsense nobody will stupid enough hired a candidate like this...

they only pay someone who worth to them and can help the company and not pay someone who want to increase their salary range on their cv.
