I got the job

I bet you're glad you don't live in the US. Is the minimum wage the same all over Canada?

It's funny how minimum wage can be so different within different countries.

I don't believe so, but other provinces don't have the same standards. Ontario as the highest education, and we have the best health care. There is more job aspects here, whereas the other provinces aren't simmilar.

Well, I'm glad for you Ricki. You are a hard worker and put a lot of people to shame!

Noone will hand anything to you,you have to work for it. I love looking around and seeing what I work for. This new job will catch up on my bills, then a new winter jacket. After that it will go into savings, I am hoping by September to have the down payment.

In store, I work at Global Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday, then work their competitor at Pet Valu from Friday, and Saturday. My new boss even knew I was working at Global and didn't care. I am a regular customer with them, and he wanted my experience and knowledge.

I wouldn't want to go back to nights again. I will keep my other part time job for the time being, but once my seasonal job starts I will most likely leave it. I am not sure what I will do for next winter though. I will talk it over with my boss, but I normally work 7 days a week with him, but he is lenient and work around me and my other jobs.

Thank you! I will be a cashier, and stocker the job is very similar to my current job.

SOmetimes that makes yours vulnerable, and people take advantage of you.

It's minimum wage, so it's the lowest you will make.

I was thinking about keeping both the jobs, until my seasonal job comes back in. So a few months, just to try and caatch up and getting a little money on the side for the time being.

It depends on where you live, Canada has a very high cost of living. So lower wage, means lower cost of living.

I will keep both jobs for the time being, to get a little extra money then will put my two weeks in when my seasonal jobs comes into play. But I am still looking for a job to replace it come the winter.

Thank you@ I hope it turns out as well, I am happy to get the job, and am sure I will really like it.

Let's hope it continue to be positive.

It will, I start next Friday. But it will give me some extra money, and reach my goals faster. The first few pays will go towards bills, then buy a new winter jacket for myself.

Thank you! I hope it goes well as well.

Thank you, I am really happy I got the job as well.

It's actually lesss hours a week 10 hours, but Friday and Saturday maybe Wednesday in teh future as well. But the boss is 100% better, and sounds more reasonable. I also get the discount which I buy more items there. I was thinking of keeping it until I get my seasonal job full time again, just so I can make a little extra money for the next few months. I was looking through my bank from last year, and my seasonal is part time for February , and most of March, so I will discuss it with my seasonal boss, and see for the next few months to work around it then I will put my two weeks in.

Our cost of living is a lot higher here, I make $10.50 with this new job, and my other job. Most cashier jobs pay minimum wage or slightly over minimum wage. When I worked in the coffee shop for 8 years I made minumum wage entire time. This new job I was told start $10.50 then in a feww months it will go up which is a bonus, also the training you have 15 hours online and get $100.00 cash.

? minimum wage is the lowest they can pay you per hour. So I will be making $10.50 per hour or else it is illegal.

Minimum wage is the lowest wage they can pay you here, so no it's not a high way at all. The discount is nice, and will save me some money on items I already buy.

Yes, I will it works around my current jobs, then I will resign from my other job come the spring when my seasonal job comes into play.
