I’ll jump on the bandwagon here. In my 25 years as a hiring manager, including a two year stint as head of Human Resources in a large company, I have never seen a salary history on a resume. Well, _never_ is pretty strong language I guess. Let me say that I don’t remember ever seeing a salary history on a resume.

(It should be noted that I’ve primarily hired for white collar professionals.)
