Current Events > Anyone else ever get turned down for a fast food job?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Feels like a new low

When I've been looking for a job and applying everywhere I can find, that has included fast food places, and I haven't even got interviews at the majority of them. I don't take it personally, as there are tons of people applying to those places, so it's a crowded job market.

I only tried for one once in high school almost 35 years ago and was accepted and got it but to be fair I live in a very low population area so there wasn't a lot of applicants. Basically if you were breathing and could be available to work on weekends they hired you.

Also back then they never turned people down, they just didn't contact you if they filled the position with someone else. There is nothing to turn down. It is fast food that can be filled by anyone and typically is filled with teenagers that heavily rotate through every year or two.

It's simply a numbers game. X positions open and Y amount of applicants. If you live in a populated area it is simply a case of a ton of applicants and very few positions. It isn't like they don't think you can do the job.

Yes. KFC, formerly known as Kentucky Fried Chicken, had some dumbass honesty test they gave during the interview that I couldnt pass.

Yeah

In N Out turned me down

Does Dominos count? Got turned down by one before becoming a driver for another back in the day.
