interview

[dante1986]

I have a interview tomorrow , would just like to know what is the average pay of a driver *its with d government* so i wont ask for too much lol

[r3iXmann]

from my experience, they don't negotiate salaries with you..just tell you what the position is offering based on your exp. etc

[dante1986]

oh ok but do you know the average pay grade ?

[A172]

'bout three fiddy

[dante1986]

hmmm ok that sounds so little bit lol

[pioneer]

what position exactly?

there are many diff positions and ranges of "drivers"

[dante1986]

courier,office work

[Gem_in_i]

On contract ? A daily paid driver? Or monthly paid?

You woun't negotiate salary, tht is already set in the Govt service.

A daily paid driver would get abt $234+ cola 6.60 but could be more depending on what type of driver. There are mvo and heo etc.

Dear OPIE, if this is how you respond in a thread where you're trying to obtain information about a job, yet you are being so vague and brief, sorry to inform you but you won't get the job. No employer in their right mind would want to hire anyone who cannot communicate properly and express themselves in an effective manner. I would say save yourself the pain and trauma of going before an interview only to have your hopes & dreams shattered right where you sit. Also if your primary concern is how much money you're gonna get, save that thought also cuz at this point in time it equates to a big fat zero.

$200 a day is avg anywhere for a driver

[kevinknr]

Just some advice...if it's for a government job. I've had a couple interviews and they all asked these questions:

1.Name one or two current events that recently took place in Trinidad.

2.Describe a work-related situation you've been in that was challenging and how you handled it.

3. What is average salary expectation? For this, I suggest you look at other tuners' suggestions of $234 avg..

Heads up for those questions and good luck.

You should have asked salary or salary range when they contacted you for the interview. Don't make sense wasting your or their time.

Never ask about salary until the appropriate time, usually during an interview.

with an emphasis in fyaz?

[dante1986]

I never ask what the salary is ubtil they ask me if i have any questions. Its the ministry of national security and i think is a 3 year contract as well.Just wanted to have a average so i wont be asking for a ridiculous salary thanks for all the info negative an positive lol

[pioneer]

Drivers won't really get 3 year continuous contracts

More like 3-6mths at a time, 1 year continuous if they really feeling generous

Drivers generally make more than clerk 1's...so probably around $4,500 per month if so much.

[Les Bain]

Been a while since I've seen the salary scale but I think that's a range 14 or 17 position. Nope, I don't know what the present salary figure is.

[dante1986]

government only give contracts now but as far as i know the contract was for three years only

[Computerman]

OP, you have heavy T?

[pioneer]

Drivers are expendable

Longer term contracts are for highly skilled/competent labor/qualified, having a driver's permit is not considered a qualification which is above the rest.

But hey driving is fun, you will make more than a clerk 1, don't have to be filing papers and fulling out tracing cards all day. Then again I doubt you're gonna pass the interview cuz with most ministerial contract jobs - they already have their people and just going tru this process for transparency sake. You can get lucky if they have a serious shortage of drivers though, but I highly doubt.

[dante1986]

na i eh hv heavy t yet an at pioneer i hv someone who is trying to help me, i applied for this like 3 months ago lol the lady call me early in d morning but for all the driving jobs i applied for wasnt for driving only i hv experience in some other stuff
