What are the chances Burger King or McDonalds hires me for the summer?

[dajoka004]

My job options are falling through. I want to make some money. I applied for openings at McDonalds and Burger Kings around my way. I wrote I'd work 5am-3pmMonday-Saturday (I'll be umpiring baseball games most nights).

Here's my resume in brief:

UVa grad
3.67 GPA
Tons of volunteer work
Some leadership
Worked in a restaurant two summers

Will I get hired?

As a regular worker or management? I'd say your chances are slim as soon as they see you have a degree but with things the way they are everyone isapplying to the McDonalds and Burger Kings.

dajoka, what did you study and are you a recent grad?

 

[thousandaire]

I never understood how someone can be overqualified for a job

As "healthy" as you seem to be as witnessed in the fitness threads, I do find this ironic to some degree.

Exactly what I was thinking.

Man, if you can't get a job, I'm done for.

 

[lazyj10]

Is this cuz Shoes4L wouldn't pay you the $25?

 

[enrique23]

i dont see any reason why you shouldn't get the job

 

[archnoobie]

You're in there..... unless they're staffed up and you're demanding a rate they cant pay you

You're a recent graduate so I would apply here. There are various job openings currently especially if you're a minority and can speak differentlanguages. Just passing it on. My boy just got hired.

A number of reasons why some places give the "overqualified" excuse...
- they think you're just using the job as something temporary and will leave at the drop of a hat the minute you get a "real" job for yourself.it's a matter of questionable loyalty.
- people with more experience typically get paid more (and correspondingly, expect to get paid more). the more experience you have, the more the employer isafraid they'll have to pay you big bucks. getting someone w/ less experience means lower salary to pay out.
- people who have a LOT of qualifications (more than other team members) often have this "i'm a bad@$$" air about them and typically look down ontheir "lower qualified" coworkers. this particularly happens when the applicant is older than everyone else they're working with. just not goodchemistry
- and finally, sometimes companies just use the word "overqualified" as a euphemism or excuse for something else, they'd rather not say ...perhaps you're too old, or perhaps they just don't wanna say "you seem like a real jerk"
