Donald Trump on Sunday took to a McDonald's restaurant, where he handed patrons their orders through the drive-thru window and mocked Vice President Kamala Harris, but his critics did not buy it.
Trump's campaign sent him to McDonald's because of Harris having worked there in college. Trump has ...
I don’t often get jobs with a resume, but is it uncommon to drop low level and irrelevant jobs from your resume?
I dont think the IT firm i’m applying to cares if i worked at walmart in high school…
It common practice to curate your resume to the job you’re applying for, you can smell the bullshit drifting off this one
That’s just Donny’s overfull diaper.
i don’t think that lard ass will fit on the changing table in the restroom.
Poor Melania 🤭
I assumed it was a contributing factor in her not living with him.
Donny has never had to apply for any kind of job. He was born with a golden-zinc spoon in his mouth.
You absolutely want to drop irrelevant jobs from your resume. You’re spot on.
Trump’s just mad because she’s actually worked real jobs before, and he hasn’t.
Cut out any experience that isn’t relevant and is too old.
That being said, I did hire someone for a tech support position because he’d done five years at a McDonald’s, which meant he was used to dealing with people.
Some amount of customer-facing work ought to be a required thing so people could understand what it’s like from the other side of the counter. Empathy is a wonderful thing to develop.
I’ve had around 15 jobs since i was in high school, across multiple states with moves, some of them pretty brief when i found better opportunities, several in fast food, retail, and factory labor. I do not list any of them on my resume as a data engineer.
Nobody cares or wants to see your entire work history as a student. They want to see your professional work experience that is relevant to your desired roles. Hell I have even made multiple versions of my resume with different jobs listed or delisted depending on the field I was applying for.
But on none of them do i put that in worked at Burger King at 16 years old for 4 months, nor the better paying job I got at a Steak n Shake as a server where I worked until I left for college. I don’t list my shitty campus dining court dishwasher job, or my Sam’s Club Cafe job I had at College either. Now I have listed my programmer internship from this time though, even though I don’t list the seasonal Gamestop job and the chicken processing jobs i had afterwards, because programming is relevant… chicken cutting is not. Just because there are gaps doesn’t mean I wasn’t working. I was far too broke not to.
It is common to omit short-term or less relevant experience from a résumé and to prioritize including jobs that are longer-term or more field specific to what you are applying for. Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence. If McDonald’s corporate was not directly involved with this stunt, perhaps they’ll clarify if Harris did indeed work for them in order to lessen the negative perception of Trump using their franchise.
Your pre-career jobs become less and less relevant as you get more experience. Once your career experience is sufficient for the jobs you are applying for all those pre-career jobs do is take up precious space on your resume and distract from the skills that actually set you apart from other job candidates.
I stopped putting McDonald’s on my resume as soon as I stopped being a “college new hire”.
Leaving it in would be like having your university GPA and fraternity / sorority house. That’s stuff you put in because you just graduated and have no experience in the workforce. It would look extremely amateurish and hurt your ability to get a job at a law firm. Not a lawyer, just know what you don’t put in a resume.
Yeah, the last business got the resume with all the shine for the one pager but still got the stories from the convenience store and the short order line.
Who the fuck puts EVERY job on the resume? Does he think he’d get elected if he talked up his Steaks?
When you get a degree you have hit the resume reset button. Only relevant experience from that point forward.
It’s very common
It is totally common to drop jobs from your C.V (or resumé I guess), many people, me included, put together a special CV when a job is particularly interesting. Mostly choosing which old job gets more description and which gets less, and which old job doesn’t get on the list.
I wouldn’t add a fast food job I needed to go through school if I applied for a high level job either.
No, it’s not uncommon. You trim a good resume down for the most relevant experience. You could maybe leave it on for the teamwork aspect, but she’s probably had better examples since then. I’d bet $5 her first legal aid or whatever resume mentioned it, but not as it’s own line item.
Yeah, it is common to drop high school and college jobs unless it is relevant to the job you’re applying for OR it is your first job out of college and want to emphasize your work effort.
