Previous salary says a lot about a persons skill level. After all, if you
are not worth your former or current employer paying you what you are asking
for, why should another employer pay you that much?
Granted, it is a well known fact that many employees often do not recieve
the benefits they deserve if they remain at one company for more than five
years or so. However, your salary is probably not too far off what a job
change will get you. This being the case, it should not be too embarassing
telling your prospective employer what you currently make. If it is, you
are probably not worth what you are shooting for.
There are exceptions to the rule.
