Ahh, very good question man.

I usually don't know what to put. Just leave it blank, or say 'Negotiable'

I don't think there's a way to leave it blank or put negotiable... it's an online application...

FatherTed, pretty sure it's commissioned because they also had a 'Non-Commissioned Sales' job option.

That site suggests that around $9.30 is the average wage. DC minimum wage is gonna be $7.55 in about two week's time. Maybe I should put something in the middle (e.g. $8.50)?

@Heggs no paid job experience but this is my 2nd summer volunteering at this program (it's only a couple hours in the morning so it doesn't interfere)

First job through a major chain?  You will get "scale" which is just their formula ... you shouldn't expect too much more than minimum wage (in a few weeks it will be $6.55). 

I work a lot with entry-level people and it is rare around Northern Virginia for jobs to pay less than $8 an hour.  In fact, I can't remember the last time I saw pay lower than that.  Typically, it is in the $8 to $11 range.  For example, I knew I guy who spoke little English, and he started at Dick's Sporting Goods in Chantilly as a stockman for $10 an hour.  He was a very hard worker.

can i sees this applicationz?

Lmao so you retaliated by calling him a fucking cockmongling piece of shit...

Its better than faggoty retarded assface pickle fucking accident of birth tbh

Minimum wage + $5 is always worth a try..

never go too low and never go way over what to expect, I would put down about $8.

If you go low they will just think you have no backbone. If too high they will think your a joker.

You have to be seen to value your worth.
