Negotiable.That answer works because it neither over-estimates the value of a first job employee nor under-estimates the value of the job.She should have an idea what the range of the job pay scale is when she gets to this point in the conversation. Say something like I understand that this type of position normally starts anywhere from $8 to $9 and and can go higher with experience. I think my reliability and other traits should put me somewhere near the middle or high end of this starting range.
Well it really depends on your experience, so you usually put down what their previous hourly wage was before. BUT since it s your first job, you can put open for discussion or write down whatever the minimum wage is in your area. You don t want to ask for too much because i m sure they can easily find someone else who can work for less.
Do not write the minimum wage in your state! They may pay more and will be glad to give you minimum wage if that s what you put down, my dad always told me to write going rate . So whatever they pay other similar employees you are fine with earning that much also.
She should put down whatever hourly salary is wanted, but it might not be a bad idea to do some undercover work and sort of ask an employee doing the kind of work for which the application is being made how they like working there and what they make per hour.
$1-2 dollars above minimum wage, thats if the business is doing well, if the business is hurting 50 cents to $1 is ok,
7.25 per hourthats minimum wage
