How do I get chosen? I have experience in two very fast paced restaurants, I have experience with everything needed to be chosen and I’ve always done amazing in them. But I’m still never called and someone with absolutely no experience at all is chosen over me.

What can I do?

The no experience people getting hired are probably cheaper. Sad but true. Some places would rather train someone from scratch at minimum wage than pay more for someone who actually knows what they're doing. It's not you, it's just the way things are. All you can do is keep applying and hope for the best. Get enough applications out there and you'll find something sooner or later.

Background: I’ve been overwhelmed in my current company/position. Found this position in another company but the position is to help to “build” the supply chain processes for the company. So while I think the company is alright and the people seem fine, I feel the “building” process will require more time and commitment I’m able to provide. I’ve voiced that during interviews and they all said “things would be fine”. MORE BELOW

Check the overtime laws for your state!!

I just recently worked 58.6 hours in a week, weekly pay, nice OT profit right? Depends on where you live.

In Iowa, there is no Overtime pay mandate, the overtime pay is at the discretion of the business. I received 58.6 hours of base pay for the week.

If the company makes less than $1 million per year or does not engage in intercontinental sales, the company is not required to pay the overtime rate of time and a half, just your base rate.
