Sumbitting a Salary HistoryA job I am applying for requests both a resume and salary history....Because my resume is one page full to the brim already I am planning to submit them separately.... My question is what is the best way to submit salary history? Would it be sufficient to just list each position and the finishing salary for each, including my current position and salary? You submit a salary history on a separate sheet of resume paper, not on your resume. You want to be able to have your resume circulated to others, possibly even future subordinates, without giving out that person info so keep it off your resume. Set it up like this: Current company Previous company I use beginning and ending salary because I can show increases within companies and from company to company. Otherwise, just use your ending salary at each job. You salary history information should always go on a separate sheet. Start with your most recent job and work backward to your first real job. List the full company name and address and contact information, the list your dates of employment with each one, then starting title and ending title, finally list starting salary and ending salary for each position held. In the last paragraph of your cover letter, I'd put a sentence like, "My current salary is $X, and my anticipated salary is negotiable within the $X to $Y range." Hope this helps. Paul W.
