Stress Question Tip

  • Be straight when answering this question. Don't embellish because your prospective employer might verify your real salary in your pay history. Some would even ask you to present your w-2 form. And this is the kind of information that companies can dig in even after several years. Therefore, answer this question truthfully to prevent any problems in the future.
