As I've mentioned before I'm currently unemployed with very few prospects at this time
I recently started applying for positions in retail and customer service ( fields I worked in for years before moving here and trying to get a job with the feds)
So far I've had a couple of phone interviews 1 for a fast food job the other for a big box store They've both gone like this :
Manager: I see you have a business degree...
Me: yes I have a degree in marketing
Manager: ...and you have experience working for the federal government as well?
Me: yes I do
Manager: So I guess I shouldn't waste me time hiring you since you'll just leave as soon as you get a better job
Me: ......
Seriously, what can I say to that ? its absolutely true but still There's no way I can convince someone I'd refuse a federal job to flip burgers all day for minimum wage
And I can't not put my education and 3 years worth of work experience on my CV
I want to work why won't they let me?
