Craig Annunziata answers job seeker’s question on TheSpec.com and the Chicago Tribune.
Craig offered advice for people preparing for interviews with human resources officials.
A reader asked whether she's legally required to provide salary information and if there's a delicate way to handle the situation when she doesn't want to reveal her current pay.
Craig said it's 100 per cent legal for an employer to ask a job candidate about salary or wages.
"There's no prohibition on that," he said. "And there's nothing wrong with it. I think it's more appropriate than not to do that."
Craig explained that while it's easy to suspect an employer wants that information for nefarious reasons, like trying to keep a job candidate's pay as low as possible, that's rarely the case.
