They're inadvertently proving that she's normal as hell, and at the same time demonstrating that there is simply no dirt on her. Incredible miss.

I don't list my high school/college part time job on my professional resume either. It isn't that I'm assumed of where I worked, or it didn't happen, it's just that it feels like small potatoes and not relevant to when I'm applying to a new job in my field.

No one puts fast food or retail gigs on their resume unless the experience is relevant or it’s your first or second job after retail.

Hiring manager here.

Friendly reminder, when you submit your employment history to a future employer, please do exactly what Harris did if you can. Please tell me about your recent relevant experience, and do not list out every random ass summer job you’ve had.

I’m overworked, I’m reading applications between meetings and I need concise, relevant info - not a 5 page memoir.

The entire point of a resume is that it is a 1 page summary of your relevant work experience. It was never meant to be exhaustive or comprehensive.

There's some old gigs that I leave off just because the reputations of some of the companies I worked for is poor, they're seriously trying to attack her over leaving McDonald's off? Is the Rebuplican strategy to just appeal to boomers by being as out of touch as possible?

They’re not confused; they are saying she’s poor and black and belongs in fast food and Trump deserves to run the country instead. Asking the question is just a way of trying to be mean about it like a bunch of high school girls in the lunchroom.

Completely ignoring the (better) point that most resumes only really include job history that would directly affect what you're applying for, I have been told countless times that if I so much as dared to include a resume that was more than 1 single page, it would immediately get tossed in the trash.

You know what’s weird? Asking 59 year old woman to list her summer jobs from when she was paying her way through college.

Shit, I forgot to include on my resume that 1 week I worked at dominos where I received no training and spent the entire time either being following around by the driver while he rambled on about conspiracy theories, erasing the chalkboard nipples someone kept drawing on the dining room chalkboard, or both. Guess my employer should fire me from my IT job now. /s

Wow fucking insane that she would list relevant work experience and omit irrelevant work experience on a job application. Glad these guys got the scoop, sounds like it took three people so it must have been significant effort.

Stolen McValor 🤦‍♂️

Jfc.

Three authors to say "We don't know how resumes and job applications work!"

In high school, I worked a coffee kiosk in a Costco. In college, I worked at a Taco Time, a portable coffee cart, and (very briefly) a shitty telemarketing company.

None of those jobs ever appear on my resume. Ever. They're simply inapplicable. I'm a software developer. Why the fuck would a potential employer care that I know how to pull an espresso shot?

I started to type out an argument that politicians should have to do x amount of time in fast food or retail before running for office, but then I realized that's a road to fascism. After months of customers yelling at you for the pink shirt not being pink enough and demanding to know why you're hiding the real pink shirts in the back, rounding people up in concentration camps is going to start to looking very reasonable.

My resume has 4 to 5 jobs on it, single page. I leave out tones of slop, and include only the most relevant jobs for the position to which I'm applying.

So I should include the 4 Saturdays I worked as a 6'2 tall Kid Vid (the short lived burger king mascot) in 1993 in Crawley Town centre (and scared a lot of kids because I was WAY TOO TALL - the costume was designed for a 5'4 girl), because it's relevant experience to my 30 year career in it consultancy. Gotcha

knowing she worked mcdonalds makes me like her more.

Not dipshits, assholes. They're not ignorant, they're not stupid. They're intentionally malicious assholes that know better but would rather be complete assholes.

I leave anything over 10 years off my resume. This is a nothing-burger.

Reminds me of the time in my late 30s while applying for a warehouse job that I left out the fast food job I did while in highschool. Nobody questioned it, but maybe it's because I'm a white guy that's not running for president against a mob of insane conservatives.

I've hired someone who'd worked at McDonalds. It was for a technical support position, and I knew that if he could handle five years of your average McD's customer then he would be amazing at dealing with our customers.

I totally read “bacon” and immediately started thinking about wind power.

I love lesdyxia, it makes social media hilarious.
