I’m currently applying for a dream job - same sort of responsibilities but in a very different industry, one that I have always wanted to work in (and finally have something to contribute!) On the application form you have to state your current salary, which is where I’m unsure- my current salary is a lot higher (like two thirds higher) mostly due to the field I currently work in paying very well and field I want to work in paying not very well! But we have done the sums, can manage and this new job is inthe industry I have always wanted to work in. I fully accept the pay cut. However will this put them off giving me an interview? Should I address the pay cut in my covering statement? Any help would be great!!

I think you should be honest about your pay, if anything it shows how serious you are about your chosen field and the sacrifices you are willing to make. If you lie and they find out then this could make you look like a dishonest person. In any case why would they be put off by your high salary?
