Month: May 2023

I made between 3500-4000 a month in tips. I had three days off during the week to get school work done, I had mornings off to go to classes, workout, if I needed to get something fixed with my car I could get that done. I could attend “job fairs” if I needed to. Now working a traditional 9-5 job I make 20 an hour which is 2500 after taxes. Studying at night after work is a LOT different than studying before work. Waking up early every morning to get ready for work. It just feels like I don't have time for anything. I already drive a 25 year old car so miles and wear and tear isn't a big deal at this point.

I did this before I signed onto work at the…

I have an interview scheduled for tomorrow with a temporary-to-permanent job, and I would like to know the best questions to ask to ensure their intentions of making the position permanent. Although temp-to-permanent jobs pay slightly more than my current job, they do not come with benefits. Therefore, I have calculated that I will be making roughly the same amount, even without paid time off (PTO). I have had negative experiences in the past with temp-to-permanent jobs, where I was only covering for a few weeks for someone who was away for surgery. This experience has taught me the importance of directly interviewing with potential employers to obtain relevant information. Thus, what steps should I take to ensure that the temp-to-permanent job opportunity is genuine and the best route of action for…
