I've applied to over 100 jobs, including fast food, though have over 15 yrs in casual to fine dining restaurants.

Why is it, that even getting a job at McDonald's or any cafe is impossible?

Everybody keeps saying it's a lousy job market because it is. It seems like we're in a situation where people are worried about the economic situation getting a lot worse. Once the tariffs and other policies kick in, every business will be trying to cut costs. So they're not too eager to do any hiring now.

I totally get the frustration. It can feel like the more experience you have, the harder it gets to land a job, especially in industries where you're overqualified. Sometimes companies see that as a red flag, thinking you might not stick around. Keep pushing forward though, you WILL find the right fit eventually!

Most employers want FOH to be young college kids and would rather hire them than get someone that’s qualified/over qualified and mature. Most of these interviews are just screening people out because I’ve seen it done. Applications are in two piles. I’m sure one is rejection and the other new hire. I’m not a young college kid and rather they didn’t ask you come for an interview in professional attire to get rejected.

So I work as an assistant manager at a restaurant for the past 9 months. I've worked in restaurants for the past 6 years science I was 16. Now I'm 22. I went to a trade school for media and film.

Should I take the chance at this job and leave the restaurant that is on the rise and growing?
