McDonald's Job Applications Dumped On 'Occupy' Protesters By Chicago Board Of Trade

[CashOnClick]

I only read about 1 kind of sensible response in this thread.... You fucking retards blowing smoke out your asses... get in touch with reality ! ... apply for a job at Mc D ... see if they will hire you ! I bet they will not because you dont have the min grades / qualifications to even get an interview... you dumb fucks that ride the wave back in the day and skim from affiliates now to survive think you know it all, in reality you are out of touch... Get a grip mother fuckers

while its funny and easy to say "get a job at McDnalds" fact is, most are turned away.

McDonalds just did a huge "hiring" promo, they got over 1million applications...

over 938,000 were turned away. in fact, it made news because they "turn away more applicants than harvard" now.

"Harvard accepts about 7 percent of applicants. At a recent "National Hiring Day" McDonalds accepted only 6.2 percent, according to CBS2Chicago."

threads like this are entertaining but it does show how out of touch some people are with the reality of employment in the US and/or actually doing things like getting a "job at Micky Ds"

This is not really surprising. This has been well documented that since 2008 or so it's an employer's market. There are more applicants than jobs, and they can frankly choose to be picky. They do not just need warm bodies to don the paper hat.

precisely, anyone who has paid attention and read articles about this stuff, know - its funny to see people still pushing the "get a job at McDonalds" angle because it shows complete ignorance for the economy they claim to know so much about/

Also if you have a shit load of education, they arent going to hire you. Because they figure you are just holding water til the next job or the manager feels threatened about hiring someone with a college education if he doesnt have one. If you been working in corp america and were laid off and your 50 . There is a good chance you will never get one again. Now all this let them all work for min wage. News flash its poverty wages, then they are using Gov benefits. So it costs us all. My grandfather was a presser of woman's coats in the garment district. He was able to buy a house, a car and raise 4 kids with my grand mother not working. Not everyone is an A type personally or smart enough but they are good people who will work very hard for their pay. And they are very fucked.

Life sucks, get a helmet. Get over it. Been there done that - I graduated college in California with my little computer degree right after the dot com bubble burst. IT jobs disappeared over night. In fact, that's how I ended up working in this industry.

How are they "over qualified" if they have 0 experience?

why do college grads use this excuse for their own lack of real world skills?

they are under qualified.

Off course the average person isn't qualified to run a business that runs million of dollars in business a year... It's a lot of tasks... Payroll, Marketing, Accounting, Human Ressources, Real Estate etc.

Perhaps that's because that is in fact the precise reason that they (and others) are frequently given when their employment applications are turned down?

Ummm... maybe that would be because that's also what they've been told over and over and over again at job interviews.

Ahoy there Captain Obvious, Thanks for feeling compelled to debunk an obvious humor piece...



No, the above pictured feline did not pen the word "cat" on the hat resting upon it's head (but you already knew that, due to your keen power of observation).

Keep carrying on Captain,
