  • Question About Jobs With Commission

    Ok, for the past week my friend and I have been looking for jobs like crazy. We've been going to stores every day and filling out applications and everything. Yesterday, I decided to go by a music store near my house where I bought my microphone. I asked a worker who I could talk to about a job and he told me to go talk to the lady sitting in the back office. She was Armenian and she told me to call the store after 9 and speak to the owner. I called after 9 last night and I told him I was interested in a job. He asked if I had sales experience and I told him I didn't and he said, "Because it might be hard for you. You need to sell stuff in the store. You work off commission." Anyway, he told me to come by on Tuesday at 2, to show me what I'll have to do. Pretty much, I'm sort of hired.

    Now, when he said that about commission - does that mean I won't get paid hourly and that's all I get? I asked my parents and they said it can't be, just ask on Tuesday. What do you guys think? Will I get paid hourly plus that commission? Because it's a small, slow store. Literally, there could be days I'll just sit and do nothing. So does that mean I won't get paid those days?

    It's most likely minimum wage + commission, or maybe even alittle less than minimum wage. (~$5/hr) However, there are many jobs out there that are commission only (real estate, car sales, financial services, insurance sales, etc)

              They're like little candies. Mmm. Lately I find myself emoting much more than before.

                Easy there. I can't wait until Tuesday. I'll either have the best job, or no job at all. Working there is like, letting a kid live in a Candy store. All that music equipment around me. I'll be wasting my paychecks in there, with discounts too.

                  You can sell to yourself and get commission.

                    And get the store discount? Either way, if I get the job, I'm wasting all my money there. Me, in a music store? Come on. That's like putting a kid in a candy store for the rest of his life.
