actually makes a lot of sense bc a lot of these jobs are minimum wage; $16.35 and they expect u to do a lot

i was thinking about doing this as it is the most common sense thing to do but i haven’t done it yet, ive done it before tho and they’ve told me “everything’s online”

Maybe apply online first and then go in to talk to them

It did help me to walk into the workplace (particularly petco) and ask for the manager. Not in a weird way, just a, ‘I see you have an opening and I was wondering if you had more information about what the job is like’. And then I’d ask carefree questions about the job that felt realistic. I got a call back.

It also makes a difference if you already have a job. Even if it’s a Dunkin’ Donuts or something. Applying without a job is probably one of the best ways to cut yourself short!

Well that’s ridiculous. How can anybody get a job in the first place then?

tbh it could but but I tried to make it very appealing as well as professional, added my extracurriculars as a volunteer at a senior center + my old ones as & my job experience :/

i applied to petco and they said i didn’t meet the requirements which sounds ridiculous knowing i mentioned i had experience as a cashier as well as with animals, last time i went to a place and asked for the manager all they told me was “everything is online” which is just annoying

But not if they say to apply online. Then they write your name down to not hire you because you can’t follow directions
