[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When I was in H.S. I was designing webpages for $100 an hour while my friends were working part time at Starbucks. Then they went on to college and worked at Starbucks to get by. And now they have a degree and still work at Starbucks. While I meanwhile have a wonderful job and a great life in DC because I had 10 years of RELEVANT experience and they graduated with food service experience.

I feel bad for you if you think ANY serious job will look at a college graduates resume and see McDonalds for 4 years and think "oh that is nice, they probably are a good worker and reliable and learned good job skills." [/quote]

For an entry-level position, I would call the recent grad who worked at McDonalds or Starbucks before I called the one who had "owned his own business" since high school, and never worked for someone else. Obviously, a candidate who had done both would be ideal, but like PPs have said, working for a boss is a signal that this individual can show up on time, dressed appropriately, and follow instructions. These are qualities that I want in an entry-level employee. The person who owned his own business for six years probably thinks he is entitled to be my boss.[/quote]

News flash, the one who owned their own business doesn't want your entry level job. Go ahead and hire those McGraduates.[/quote]
