I currently have a student retail job that I recently started, and I’m being paid $17.60/hour, which is minimum wage in Ontario. I also applied for another job, and the posting says the pay ranges from $17.60 to $21/hour. I’m confused about how that pay range works. Do employees usually have to negotiate, or does the employer decide what to offer? Since I already have a job, I’d only leave if the new position pays better. Also, should I tell them that I currently have a job? Any advice would be appreciated.

Did anyone do an interview on this before? Any advice on types of questions that will be asked? Or have any suggestions?
