hehe u cant be overqualified man..i got my job at maccas after a 2min interview. the guy looked at my resume, and shook my hand. to the managers, im known as the "smart guy".

dw about getting job man. i applied for heaps after my hsc and u get rejections after rejections. but once u load up on extra curricular stuff outside ur academics, and know how to talk during an interview den ur set. juz to add credibility to that, so u dun fink its coming form sum1 whose juz working at maccas. i tutor on weekends and i scored an actuarial vacation job this summer....doing actuarial modelling (sounds good aye...flashes business card around..im an actuarial model)

there are many reasons as to why you didn't get those fast food jobs

one main factor is that its closing to christmas and alot of kids applied for it too..

now think about it, would they hire a kid getting paid around 6bucks an hr, or hire you when they have o pay u around 12bucks an hr?

maybe u should apply around jan. - march period

for sure, remember we are old now.

what have your interviews been like? i got to the point of memorising answers to common questions, it works, makes the interviews go a bit more smoothly. act chatty. the focus is on customer service, team work and committment.

anyway i know what it's like, it gets to the point where you can't be bothered to look anymore.
