And now you face the hard reality; your grades and academics count for nothing in the real world.

Keep trying. You'll find something eventually.

I've been rejected from KFC, Greggs and a crappy cleaning job at a college (plus loads more but they're the worst ones). Don't feel too bad, there's always going to be people who don't get the job, the people who get them probably have at least 5 years experience nowadays!

Leave C's alone.

I've got 6 years of work experience and A*AA at A level. Got rejected for crew member. Don't be phased by it, they are clearly looking for some one very special. Am I bitter? yes. I have to fight the urge to demand to speak to the manager whenever I'm in a McDonald. Have you seen the work? skills and qualifications ... :rolleyes:

I get C's also. Definitely not hating on the c's here or I'd be shooting myself in the foot. But people who are literally failing most things getting jobs, I don't understand how they do it.

if you get rejected its probably because you're too smart for the managers to handle.

Dumbasses are easily whipped into obedience, people studying hard usually find better jobs.

Anyways, every supermarket chain offers higher than minimum wage these days for the floor jobs and you can progress through the ranks because it is usually a good company. Tescos is a great employer.

The only exception for a supermarket job is the tills...good lawd I hate tills.

Lool at that. I don't why, but that cracked me up

I know how you feel OP, I got rejected by KFC. The site doesn't even let me apply for another branch. I can't even trick the system and apply with another email. Damn that colonel!

You were most likely overqualified; they knew that you'd leave for greater things after a while :tongue:

Good ol' Mcdonalds, I remember applying there after my A-levels during my gap year, they seemed happy with everything such as availabillity, previous experience etc. but in this rejection email thay they sent me they told me that qualifications weren't suitable for the job, I was baffled considering I had 4A*7A at GCSE and 4 A's at A-level at this point in time, ah well, their food is good

I just don't get how you "can't have enough experience" to work at pizza hut? D: I think they just use it as an excuse and pull applications out of a hat tbh, cause I know people who work there and they certainly had no experience when they applied. What relevant qualifications can you really have?! BSc Pizza Topping Arrangement and MA Writing Down An Order Very Quickly?

still bitter, still bitter...

Quite often you can be overqualified for a job, they won't employ you because they think you'll be gone as soon as you get a better offer (quite rightly too) or because your studies mean you won't be available to the extent they want. In this case to be blunt, a stupider and less able applicant is the better option because they'll have more loyalty from them.
