OK…you get asked to show your W2’s to prove that you have earned the kind of money you say you have earned..
over the years i’ve had tons of candidates that claim that is an invsion of privacy…none of their business..blah..blah…blah..
well, it is their business and if you don’t produce your previous W2’s, you probably won’t get hired..
the lesson is to tell the TRUTH about what you have earned…nothing will eliminate you faster than to say you have earned $XXXXX and the hiring authority looks at your W2’s to find out you earned a lot less…
