I can let you stick it to me if it would make you feel any better :D
and before any innuendos occur, I am referring to something along the lines of a post-it :p |

I also have a part time job on the weekends... I am a grocery clerk at shaw's supermarkets (lol) that's not bad considering its $9/hr
all part of my plan to take over the world :toothless |
GIS is the wave of the future. Thats why I got certified in it in my undergrad and now Im getting my grad degree in GIS. |

Rule of thumb when applying for jobs:
NEVER PUT DOWN YOUR SALARY REQUIREMENTS
Why?
You put down 7.50, they are willing to pay 11.50, and they see you only want 7.50 for this job so they'll pay you 8.50 which is above your requirement. Score for you, but you could have made 11.50
Alternatively,
You put down 8.50, they are willing to only pay 7.50, you're asking for too much for the position. They won't hire you.
A good thing about leaving your salary requirement open is to look at the job application process as a choice for you and a choice for them. A good applicant will have 5-6 offers from different companies (this puts you in the position to choose which job you want, how much pay, how hard the work is, how much success there is). Versus another applicant that will jump at any position available. You want to show all employers that you are the best candidate for the position, this will enable the employer a chance to "MAKE YOU AN OFFER" and you have the right to take it or leave it.
On one hand you have nothing else going for you so you'll take it fine. On the other hand you have nothing else going for you but you was expecting more money. Salary discussion comes always after they've made an offer to you. In other words, once they make an offer to you, you've got the job. Now you just need to figure out how much you are worth. Well like many things, I too was young and I too did jump at the first offer, but I've learned that this method is how people succeed. Remember, you are an asset to every company, every company is not an asset to you. Lateral Movement and Upward Mobility...read up on those business terms!
and for the record
I started working when I was in highschool full time after school 4pm-9pm @ a mom and pop computer store paying me 10/hr off the books cash. the owner of the shop eventually brought me into a fortune 500 sub-company of MSNBC (www.feedroom.com) as a network administrator/assistant (paid me $28/hr on the books). Now I'm a Senior Business Analyst/Sales Operations Manager @ a Fortune 500 Publishing Company.
Good luck, Congrats on the new job, and remember Be Successful but make sure you are happy at what you are doing!
Congrats again!!! |
thanks for the advice. this is my first time having my own little cuticle and computer. its not much, but its my first kind of area that is my own personal space. my training is over for the day, so im just exploring the network theyve got here.

Are radios not allowed then? You should find out and if they are allowed, bring one in. Maybe use headphones for it, though. |

i just started a really good job yesterday paying $8.50/1hr working 15 hours a week. im an mortgage insurance officer making sure all the mortgages at this credit union have insurance on the homes, and if they dont, finding out why and when, etc. for being only 18 years old, this is like an wide open door to the corporate world.
this is waaywaywayawayaywayay better than the busboy job i was doing as restaraunts, which was the dirtiest lowliest job getting paid only 6.50. i love the business atmosphere in things, being able to control my climb up the corporate ladder according to my own merit, and dressing nice. |
Wee... My drug addict son got a job at Pratt and Whitney on weekends working 12 hour days on Sat and Sun for $9 per hour. He's still in college, BTW. And yes, he's driving on 22" rims with 1200 watts and 12" woofs playing gansta music.
:D
