Hi folks,

I have been applying for lots of jobs recently and have been getting some really good feed back. I have had a few interviews and have got a second one on most occations. I do however have a problem...

When I was speaking to one agency guy he asked how much money it would take for me to leave my current role, but before I answered he asked how much I was on, the problem is he mistook my answer to be what money I want, not actually what I am on. In other words he thinks I am earning more than what I am and has put me forward for a job paying twice what I currently earn... I want the job and need the money but could my deception get me in trouble? If/when they ask for references could they ask my employer how much I earn and so be rumbled? And what do I tell other agencies? Could I tell a white4 lie to them about my earning too?

mildly worried,

SB

Seriously if your under paid such as if you work at a school then out in the business world you would be worth a lot more. Don't worry about it.
