I just got a rejection email from Target because I called and told them I can only work week nights and weekends...

You would think that would be perfect but apparently its not good enough


Retailers tend to employ a lot of high school and college kids with that same schedule. It can be hard for them to find day shift people.

Otherwise most jobs tend to have a lot of applicants so... it's really a numbers game, especially when it comes to unskilled jobs since those have fewer reqs to weed out candidates.

Low end retail jobs will decline you if you specify because they want you available all day errday whenever they need to fill a shift

You're a warm body to them and not a person with needs

Sorry!


Depends on the company. Some specifically have trouble getting people to work weekends because most people don't like working them. Otherwise yeah, they want as much availability as possible especially so they can schedule people as replacements at the last minute.

Low and unskilled labor positions are near impossible to get if you have an IQ above 70, because who wants to hire someone with the potential to leave for better things than a deadend job?


Completely untrue, especially considering most people working those jobs have an IQ greater than 70. Unless you have a personality defect, a lot of low and unskilled labor positions specifically want people with higher IQs in the same way that a lot of jobs nowadays which historically haven't required a college degree (nor need one) will look for people with a degree.

And a lot of people with degrees don't always have the mobility to leave for another job given the market. Places like Starbucks and Subway have plenty of college graduates who have worked those low-end jobs for years.
