I’m not following your logic. Please elaborate.
Let’s pretend I am a small business man. I have a job that I can afford to pay $10.00 an hour. I tired of doing all the clean up around my business and need someone to come in 10-15 hours a week an do simple maintenance work. I get your application and on it you indicate your starting wage is $15.00. Your previous work history indicates you have job experience that are way above the job I am currently offering.
If you take the job you are going to be an unhappy employee because your expectation of what the job should offer are much higher then I can afford.
In a small business there is almost nothing worse then a disgruntled employee. Their bad attitude is the most highly infectious disease in the world.
Not only are they going to grow rapidly more and more unhappy with the work and pay, they are going to infect my workforce with their attitude. Their unhappiness with the job is going to rapidly lead them to simply decide to go elsewhere.
Smart employers do not hire just anyone with a pulse. If they do they constantly have to spend time and money correcting errors and customer complains as well as going through the lengthy process to justifiably terminate the bad employee without getting sued or paying months of unemployment claims to your hiring mistakes
