I'm about to land/have already landed(?) a fitness related job - think workout craze popular with kids, in a very fragmented industry. Owners seemingly lucked into a profitable business that grew fast enough to have multiple locations within a little over 15 years. Owners seem to have no business sense lol.
Their hiring process is...confusing. Come in, meet this person, do they like you, yes, ok you're basically hired because we really need people...well actually for kids classes there's a new member waiting list so we are essentially leaving money on the table every day we don't hire, yadda yadda yadda. Ok, so I'm hired? Would you like to see a resume? My background check?? I'm SafeSport certified do you care? "Name a character from the Simpsons but name the person who voiced them."
What about pay? How do I negotiate? I looked up "living wage" and I got this link (livingwage.mit.edu - see the "Thanks to Our Supporters" section which is just ๐ ๐)
