No wifi anon here; tldr, I applied at a McDonald’s and I am in absolute shambles (not in a bad way)! The location near me has you take a personality assessment and they told me that I scored as too much of a recluse to be considered for employment?? I want to be sad about it but that’s just super hecking funny to me ٩( ᐛ )و

Noooo 😭

Sorry that happened Anon! It is kinda funnie tho,,,

HOWEVER! It's okay to lie on assessments and even your resume, I promise. We live in an employer controlled economy right now, meaning companies CAN and WILL be picky with who they hire.

I highly encourage people to lie on entry level positions. Don't have your high school diploma? That's okay just lie and put it on your resume. Wanna know why you can do that? Because for the several jobs that I have applied + gotten, NOBODY has ever asked me for proof of having a diploma. While I do have mine, I know a lot of people are scared or discouraged to apply since 90% of jobs require one. But they literally don't ask for proof I promise it'll be okay.

And you can lie on a bunch of different things. On my resume, under my skills section, I have that I am "Able to work Microsoft 365/Office/Suite programs" or something to that extent. Now, it's not that I can't use these things, but rather that I am nowhere near an expert on them. But I put it there because I know I can just look up a tutorial on youtube lol.

Finally, try to embellish your experiences! Take any little thing and make it into something big! This is just to make yourself look more impressive so that you can get a job that'll be a stepping stone into your career. Then you can take off those tiny experiences and replace them with new ones you get.

Sorry if this was umprompted btw Anon 😭

Just trying to share my experiences with what works and what doesn't. And this is advice that everyone should consider if they're having a hard time getting their foot in the door.

#mailbox #but it's CRAZIE how corporations will expect SO MUCH for such low pay. fast food workers and retail workers need $20 MINIMUM.#also like i said before. a small paycheck is better than none #i got humbled real quick when I went from $20 working with families in a job that i loved (after having no previous paid work experience)#to going to $14.45 in a fast food restaurant getting up at 3am just so i could get to work on time at 4am...#it's tough but things happen!#we all go through it but it'll get better eventually i promise
