Question: need suggestions.
My DH has a phone interview on Thursday morning, it's more than a $20,000 pay cut, but at this point we'll consider anything and make it work. A headhunter brought this to my husband's attention and he has been talking to him over the past couple of weeks regarding this position. The headhunter says that when companies hear that it's 20% paycut or more that they won't even consider you because they think that you will only consider this position until you can find a better one. He has had several phone interviews and when they ask his salary, that's where it goes downhill. We know at any job he won't make the salary he was making. The headhunter that set up this interview has asked him to lie about his last salary. A friend tonight that works in management for an insurance company says her company asks for proof of your last salary, either pay check or w-2. What would you all do? Do you lie and chance getting caught if they ask proof or admit to it and know that they will not call you back.....
