What Do You Think?

Greetings Group, let me have your take on this matter... I interviewed for a (Career Coach Position). I am fully experienced in that arena, after the interview, I asked a couple little questions, nothing major. Before we ended, they asked me "How much are you looking at to get paid?" Now my question is, or I should say... That is a effed up question to ask someone who is looking to get employed by you and if a person would state an high amount that would ex them out, and If you go low, you are setting yourself up for failure to be taken advantage of. What is you all take on this?

Dazed and Amused, not to mention confused!!

The meandering path of navigating this job market continues. Two weeks ago, I receive a phone call from a recruiter saying a job which matches my qualifications and experience has come up. They describe the job to me and say there is a determined $$ per hour rate. I say I am ok with the compensation being offered and to go ahead and submit my resume. Jump to three days or so later, I get called by the recruiter and am told I have an interview with the company... YIPPEE!! I went in, did the interview. It was very conversational, pleasant, the manager I would be working for was very personable, we shared information on various forms of communication etc., I answered the 20 questions, asked her some questions etc. I left there with a good feeling about the job, and upon my return home, wrote a thank-you note and sent to the recruiter to forward to the interviewing manager. Two weeks pass and I hear nothing. I reach out to the recruiter only to be told the company went with a candidate with a lower rate! How the h*** is that possible? Salary never came up as a part of the interview, other than the interviewer asking me if I was ok with what they were offering. Was I supposed to say, "oh no that is way too much and I would be quite happy to do it for half that amount!"? UGH. Needless to say, the frustration continues. Sorry for the long rant.

Child support for your kid

What do you do if you have gotten a job but you get paid under the table and now the manager hasn't been paying me for several weeks because he is saying that some bank transfers got screwed up? So I have a job, so I can't say I'm unemployed, but I'm not making money because I'm not getting paid - so am I responsible to pay the same amount in child support??

Former Driver's Helper

I just received a W-2 from UPS for a stint as a driver's helper. I have yet to receive the actual paycheck. I certainly don't want to pay taxes for income I never received.

Looking For good paying job.

It hard to find a good paying job . It's hard to find jobs hireing people that can do the job if they dont know you or someone that you know. It's not fair, Noone to help the little people start a new career.

offered salary?

After many years job experiences and other jobs offered in low salary why? If no fault when the company laid off their employees for a reason. Then employee searching jobs with basically or similiar why can't get this offered and why have to start from bottom line that is not meet their living expenses?
