What should someone write down when asked how much do they want to get pay for a fast food restuarant?

Question

A rallys, taco bell, Checkers, etc...

That person is 15 years old and turns 16 next month. It would be his first job and what should he write down for reference? It is the summer and he doesn't have his teacher's number.

Answer 1

Doesn't matter. Minimum wage is all he's going to get.

Answer 2

"Negotiable" is always best to put under 'desired pay'. Typically, Taco Bell offers $7.00/hr. It's minimum wage the lower you go on the 'snazzy' scale. Either way, there'll be a standard amount they pay you and you can't really decide on it yourself.

Have you ever worked at volunteer jobs (it is standard practice to write down volunteer jobs when no actual job experience is available)? If so, contact the person you worked with to ask for references. Do your parents have an old family friend who knows you? Write them down. Think of all the adults that know you, and ask them if you can use them as a reference.

Answer 3

For a first job...minimum wage. They won't pay him any more than that, especially at Taco Bell. i've worked over 15 jobs in the past 5 years due to moving and they all start with minimum wage, and I'm 21!

Answer 4

Just put down minumum wage because they won't give you more than that. For references, use anyone you have done something for and exhaggerate. If you did lawn work for one day, then write that down as landscaping or something. And if you have ever babysat before, write that down too. Even if it was a small job, it will look better than nothing. If you don't have any of these, write down something you did for your grandparents or another relative. It will help if they have a different last name too because the boss won't know it is a relative.

Answer 5

Fast food joints usually only pay minimum wage because they are the first job for many high school students. I suggest writing something like, "Minimum wage is acceptable to start with, but I wish to discuss opportunities for advancement with similar compensation." Show them you're willing to exceed the norm right away.

Answer 6

A little over the minimum wage may be a good starting point. I know that's what I made in the fast food industry (and at the time min. wage was like $3.15).

Answer 7

Hi

I would go onto the www.wageline.com.au website and check to see what the average price is. Then choose a little higher than that price. Basically they are selling your skills - so don't take anything lower than the amount you are supposed to get. Also you can visit www.ansearch.com.au website for a good insite.

This is for Australia - maybe different in our places

Answer 8

Put in a high bid in first maybe 1.50 above they'll probably offer something low. Negotiate down and then at the last minute raise it up again maybe like 0.75 over minimum and then they'll panic and give in. Hopefully your a good student.

Answer 9

Your first job and your age only should be minimum wage...if a manager see's you are asking for more with no experiences they will over look you. You can always work your raises in later

Answer 10

For wages, ask for the going rate. Ask adults that know you if you can use them for a reference. Get full names, addresses, and phone numbers. These can be family friends and neighbors.

Answer 11

I would use 3 family friends for resources. Also I dont think it would hurt to ask for a little more then min wage. I would maybe write on the app "will discuss". But if they think your asking for too much they'll tell you and ask if your willing to get paid less. Don't sell yourself short.
