I have applied for that job many times and I have not been called in for a interview. I have a great resume with over 10 years retail experience. All I can say is look over your resume and maybe go into the store and speak to staff to get an idea of how the company is run. You can maybe ask them what did they do to get the job.

They use AI bots to review resumes and unfortunately if your resume doesn’t hit on what those bots are looking for you get a form letter back. I have 20 years of Big Box retail store management & an AI trained resume and still it took less than 24 hours to get a bot generated form letter back from Hobby Lobby multiple times. They’re missing out on great candidates and I’m sure no one knows about it.

Has anyone ever asked to renegotiate their salary after starting a job? I’m 2 months into my new job and I have far more responsibilities than what I was told.

My peer has more experience so I expect that but I feel that I should be paid more, however I don’t want to leave a bad impression… any advice?

I'm a cashier. We just got a new manager, and she's making things really hard for us.

And when we ask her about it, she gets mad.

I'm worried that if I speak up, she'll make my life even harder. I don't want to lose my job because of this—do you guys have any advice?
