Forums General Chit-Chat Job Update: Not sure what to think honestly

Voltie — she/they Posted 4 years ago ( 2020/08/15 00:36:30 )
So, this job is at a photography company. The position I applied for was a full time/seasonal clerical and with a knowledge of photoshop/photo editing a plus (which I've got). The owner, who was doing the hiring, said that they couldn't pay me what I was making at my previous job and I said I was flexible on the pay. He said he'd get back to me. As I was leaving he called me back into his office and said he could pay me the 10/hr for the clerical position and would bump me up to 12/hr if I would agree to be trained to take photos. I agreed.

I worked a total 8 hrs this week on camera training. I am supposed to train 12 more hrs next week. I asked when I would be training for clerical work and my trainer said that they needed photographers more. Apparently it can be very good pay when you go out on a job but like... a big chunk of their jobs are school photography... and well, pandemic.

I guess I'm going to have to get back with their "HR" person or the owner to clarify but I have a bad feeling that the answer is going to be different than the job I was offered :|

That's a really terrible situation - it's really suspicious that they offered you one job and you ended up getting a different one??? I'd tread carefully tbh

@0v7: It's a family run company so like, I'm hoping the owner just didn't convey to HR what my position would be. But I need a full time job. I've got enough money till the end of this month and that's it. I would honestly rather have the full time at 10/hr

@Lilykin: I hope it works out D: Maybe it was a communication error?

@0v7: That would be ideal, but my hopes are pretty low at this point orz
