Those web forms don't require any effort on the employers end so they just ask for everything imaginable. (I'd hazard a guess that the McDonalds corporation doesn't care about wasting their employees/prospective employees time.) You can probably just leave anything you don't have blank.

The trick to getting a minimum wage job is to show up at independent restaurants and ask if they need someone. Just dress presentably, show up during a non busy time and ask if they need dishwashers/kitchen help. If you get a good place you can actually make pretty good money if you move up to being a waiter. Its been a while since Ive had to get a job like that but I doubt anythings changed. Good luck.

I have been treating my depression constantly (almost, when I get low enough I stop taking medication or going to therapy) for the last 5 years. My depression is incredibly treatment resistant though. I have tried roughly 20 different medications, lots of therapy, and even electro convulsive therapy. Very little has even made a dent.

On a positive note despite the ridiculous frustration I was feeling that led to me starting this thread, I actually got contacted back for one of the non-minimum wage jobs I applied to.

I just started training for a Tier 2 tech support position for a small Internet/Phone/Cable provider.

I am only 2 days in, but I am kind of optimistic so far.

The second I was able to stop applying for jobs I felt a large metaphorical weight lift off my shoulders.

The trick now will be keeping my depression at bay so I don't totally gently caress this job up.


Congrats! The best part is once you're employed and have a good track record with your employer finding another job becomes way, way easier.
