i’m starting to understand why poverty is so common, applied to 20+ jobs and they say “u don’t meet the qualifications” as if being a cashier is rocket science. applying to jobs isn’t hard but getting the job is 🫩

I’ve had that issue before. I’m not sure how true this is, but there can be such a thing as being over qualified

It helps a lot to call them a few days after you apply and ask if they got a chance to look at your application, if you dont already do that

actually makes a lot of sense bc a lot of these jobs are minimum wage; $16.35 and they expect u to do a lot

It did help me to walk into the workplace (particularly petco) and ask for the manager. Not in a weird way, just a, ‘I see you have an opening and I was wondering if you had more information about what the job is like’. And then I’d ask carefree questions about the job that felt realistic. I got a call back.

It also makes a difference if you already have a job. Even if it’s a Dunkin’ Donuts or something. Applying without a job is probably one of the best ways to cut yourself short!

Well that’s ridiculous. How can anybody get a job in the first place then?

i applied to petco and they said i didn’t meet the requirements which sounds ridiculous knowing i mentioned i had experience as a cashier as well as with animals, last time i went to a place and asked for the manager all they told me was “everything is online” which is just annoying

But not if they say to apply online. Then they write your name down to not hire you because you can’t follow directions
