Earlier this year I went to a job interview. I dressed nice. I updated my resume and printed it out. I was offered the job as assistant manager only to discover that it paid $11 per hour. At the time I was being paid $10.55 per hour for job as associate trainer PLUS tips. Bring me up to about $12 per hour most days depending on how good our team tips are. Why would I want less money per hour for more work? I asked how much a General Manager would make to do the math of what I could potentially earn if I worked my way up. I was told $15 per hour. I graciously declined the offer. Another job reached out to me on monster.com and offered me a position as shift manager and again offered just $11 per hour. I currently earn $10.90 per hour PLUS tips, putting me at about $13 an hour on a good day. I work hard at my job. I don't slack off. I always look for extra work to do if I find myself bored. I do have a 4 year college degree. I may not really use it in my day to day work life working in food service, but I know my worth. Work smarter, not harder. I'm not leaving my current job for something that'll pay me less for what I bring to the table.
