I work as a cashier in a restaurant/retail shop environment. I came to this job with, first, a job as a telemarketer, and second, all temporary positions over three years. I was asked on my interview back in 2012 to sell a pair of salt & pepper shakers. My boss was the one interviewing me. I got the job...

I don't know what employers can and cannot ask. There seems to be such a blurred line for the most part. I think if a prospective employer sees a transition with where you've been and where you want to be, then you have a better chance.

I worked production, clerical, janitorial jobs. Then did the telemarketing gig...great telephone skills, and then, this job where I'm face to face and dealing with people all the time.

I have never had anyone ask or continue to ask about wages. That's weird to me. Anyway, best of luck to you. Keep me posted, Cat
