Position 1
Starting salary: x
Final salary: x + 1
Position 2
Starting salary: y
Final salary: y + 1
And so forth....
At least that's what mine looks like (with real numbers for the x's and y's). If
you've been at a position for several years, you might show a few raises as
well. The idea is to show that your compensation has increased regularly over
the years, presumably indicating that your employers considered your
performance worth rewarding.
