Busted For Lying About Salary
Ask The Headhunter, Monday, July 15th, 2024
"I was offered a position after three interviews. In the offer the title was changed from Assistant to Senior Assistant and the salary was $5k more than was originally discussed. The offer also included a 5% bonus after one year. Of course there were other benefits, major medical, etc. All this was in the written offer which I accepted. Great, right? Yes and no..."
.. I lied about my salary on the application I had completed a week earlier... they rescinded the offer..

I'm very sorry to hear what happened. Your experience is a painful reminder about why I advise people to never disclose their salary history and to never lie about it.
