Receptionist Job (1 Viewer)

[PorkkChop]

Hey,

I just had an interview with a real estate agent about a casual receptionist job. The interview went really well so I'm hoping they'll employ me. I've never had a job before so I don't know much about things like pay and how the whole salary thing works.

Firstly, I'll be working about 9 hours a week from 5pm - 8pm three days a week, and I'm 17. What would you estimate as my pay rate? I'd be happy with about $10 an hour, is that a realistic amount?

Also, if they do decide to employ me, is it my taxfile number I have to give them and when? Will they ask when they want it?

Any extra tips and advice is great too =)

Thank you.

Hey you! First off congratulations on the interview and good luck with getting the job! =]

$10 an hour sounds very reasonable, and especially as it's casual work i wouldn't expect anything less. My friend has been doing secretary/receptionist work for a year and a half and gets around $27 an hour [full time], and she's 17. So $10 an hour even if you're unexperienced sounds great.

They will need your tax file number before you start working preferably, along with bank account details and a passport etc.

Thanks guys!

I got the job!! I'm going in next week in 2 afternoons so they can explain everything to me, then I'll start working 1 - 2 shifts a week =)

Good work. I don't see many people without any previous work experience getting a receptionist job.

How did you apply?

Thanks =). Well they had a sign saying they wanted a casual high school student so I dropped in a resume with my details, achievments/awards, skills and added down the bottom that I had two references, one written from my 2 weeks work experience at a pet store and one contactable which was the deputy principal from school. all i said was "i also have two references, one written and one contactable" or something like that.

in other words, cheap labour. but good experience if you can get it.

My friend gets $100 for work at a real estate agent as a receptionist. She's 19 but its not an hourly rate she gets $100 for the day and just leaves when they say it's ok. It's normally around 6 hours.
