Put you are still currently employed. You should give two weeks notice so they don't give you a bad reference

When in doubt, be honest. Tell them that you feel that seeking new employment would be the best move for you professionally. If they ask for more detail tell them you are getting paid minimum wage and have little or no hope for advancement where you are.
An interviewer can't fault you for telling the truth. Just don't incriminate anyone else (don't bad mouth your boss).

You could say something like ' At my previous employment the pay was minimum wage and not challenging enough for my standards.' and then add stuff to that to make it sound good.

when it asks you dates put the hire date you started then in the leave field put either (N/A) or (still employed) then the reason, not being recognized accordingly, would like to move up the company chain one day in a better company...

Simply say "currently seeking more rewarding and professional position". That says you don't want to speak ill of your current job, but they just aren't doing it for you. Good Luck.
