  1. 2

    I recently accepted a job offer after a smooth interview process where I only needed two interviews instead of the planned three. Everyone I met seemed excited for me to start, which felt great. However, after completing my onboarding tasks, I received an email requesting proof of auto insurance, a driver's license, and immunization records. This caught me off guard because I don’t drive due to a disability, and I was never informed during the interviews or onboarding that a driver's license was necessary for this role. I’m feeling anxious about this situation, as I know I don’t have to disclose my disability unless I choose to. I’ve had ten years of solid work experience, including supervisory roles, and I pride myself on being punctual and reliable. I’m concerned that this request might jeopardize my job offer, even though I believe driving isn’t a requirement for the position. I’ve been seeking advice on whether I should be worried about the offer being rescinded and what steps I should take next. I’m considering providing them with my immunization records and explaining my situation regarding driving. I hope to clarify that I don’t own a car or drive, and I’m willing to provide other forms of identification if needed. It’s just frustrating because I want to start this new chapter without complications.

    I recently accepted a job offer for a position that pays between $17 and $19 per hour. With 5 years of overall experience and 2 years specifically related to this role, I was offered $18 an hour, which I accepted. However, I've started to second-guess myself and wonder if I should have negotiated for the higher end of the pay range. Now I'm contemplating whether it's too late to go back and ask for an additional dollar per hour. I'm torn between wanting to advocate for myself and the fear of jeopardizing my new position. I've received mixed advice from others, with some suggesting I should just focus on doing a great job and potentially ask for a raise after a few months, while others believe it's too late to renegotiate since I already accepted the offer. I'm feeling uncertain about my decision.
