just a normal teenage job
I'm having trouble finding one of those. I haven't quite pinpointed the reason why.
The only jobs I've held are tutoring, research, and those mass-hire jobs.
I tried to get a job as a drug store cashier, in hopes of progressing to the pharmacy and becoming a technician.
List of possible reasons why people don't like to hire me.
1. I get paid 8/hr tutoring, even though in reality I only receive 6/h after withholdings + taxes, but still I put the "legal" amount on paper. Minimum wage here is 5.15. A manager once commented about that, and I guess people are scared that I would try to negotiate a bigger salary than what the job offers, though in reality, I am satisfied with that amount.
2. Perhaps guilty thoughts of under employment?
3. prejudice. I'm Asian, albeit one that has to live with the curse of multiculturalism.
4. bad luck. I can't quite pinpoint when they're hiring. Hiring seems to be an internal affair that's rarely advertised.
At least I got a research scholarship + room and board this summer.
