I had a phone interview for a parts specialist position at a car dealership on Friday.
The whole call lasted 3 minutes.
Pay on the job posting was listed as 60-75k. (Base rate + commissions)
I have a degree in automotive technology.
I have experience in the automotive field and in operations in a warehouse environment.
In short I’m a great candidate.
As soon as I asked for at least $25 an hour, the interviewer rudely said he couldn’t come anywhere close and hung up on me.
It’s very discouraging. I don’t think what I was asking for was astronomical. I just want to make a little more to support my family.
I’m struggling so hard to get to 25, meanwhile I’m in a high cost of living state so even that number is way too low honestly.
