| Feb 7, 2017 at 12:18 | comment | added | Lilienthal♦ | @JoeStrazzere Which is why I pointed out that while that would normally put him ahead of other graduates, the fact that he's unemployed so long after graduation will largely undo that small advantage. | |
| Feb 7, 2017 at 9:29 | comment | added | Lilienthal♦ | Very, very few of the skills important for retail transfer to office work. Being on time and having a reasonably professional attitude is just about it and those are frankly baseline standards for the workplace. I agree that someone with that experience has a more valuable profile than someone without but the large lack of relevant experience since graduation is working against OP and undoing most of that. A good hiring process can select for those qualities with a reasonably high success rate. | |
