Hey everyone,
So I'm now a year 12 graduate (17 years old, soon to be 18) heading into university next year. After my exams, I CV-bombed a lot of places. I managed to finally get an offer for a fruit market after about 20 tries from other stores. Initially, they had a cashier vacancy available, which I applied for, but they told me that since I'm a guy, it's better if I did manual labour rather than on the till as they are reserved for the girls.
Right, fair enough I guess, just today I had an interview with the owner of the shop, and I got the job. He talked about my hourly rates, and I was shocked to hear him say that I would start at $8 an hour, with the cap being at $12 when I advance.
If I was only put on cashier, I wouldn't be too fussed, but the thing is that I'm doing manual labour for only 8 bucks. atm I'm really planning on rejecting the job because this is extremely ridiculous, but at the same time I really need experience and this job took me damn long to get.
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!
