because knowing how to write papers isnt the same as having administrative skills? just knowing how to type doesnt make someone a good author either. same with doing tasks, all that shows is the person can follow orders, as in go clean the restroom, go work the drive through, etc... doing tasks and projects alone doesnt show skill just for completion.
college is there to provide knowledge and a network of people in the field already. if you wanted administrative skills in college, do that as an intern, just going to class doesnt teach that. get networked with the 1000s of people on campus? where is that in your college experience?
If a person who has a degree can't get a call center or office job for the time being instead of a Mcdonald's job then they have a real problem.

yeah, their problem started their senior year when they still had no clue what job they wanted to do aside from graduating.
you really expect me to believe someone that went through college isnt motivated enough or creative enough to find a job?
and why are you so focused on call center jobs? they dont even pay well. find a job that doesnt involve sitting in an office chair, there are plenty, or do you think having a degree means no more labor jobs? didnt think it was ever that easy...

No I don't think someone fresh out of college should be applying to labor jobs. Those types of jobs are for when you are home for the summer and still in college.

Might be where they live they can't get those jobs or those jobs ask for too much experience and they can't afford to move to areas they could get better jobs because of the costs to move and COL of the area to afford while being in the hole (finding the job and the initial two+ weeks before their paycheck comes in.) Also the call center jobs may not pay all too much better than McDonald's.
FYI, McJobs are much more than fast food.
Quote:
McJob (sometimes called joe job) is slang for a low-paying, low-prestige dead-end job that requires few skills and offers very little chance of intracompany advancement. The term McJob comes from the name of the fast-food restaurant McDonald's, but is used to describe any low-status job – regardless of the employer – where little training is required, staff turnover is high, and workers' activities are tightly regulated by managers.
Sounds like many jobs these days whether it is sales, administrative or even yes, call center jobs.

Lol. Cute. You take what you can get. Think it gets any easier to find a job when there's a gaping space on your resume? Potential employers will want to know why you were sitting on your rump for 6 months, and not working.
The title pretty much makes the point; for every whiny child making $7.50/hr flipping burgers and mopping floors, there are two or three people who have already worked their way halfway up the ladder. If you ever managed to schmooze a few half-literate politicians into doubling your pay, do you think the rest of us, who've already "paid our dues" are going to be content joining you and yours back on the bottom of the economic dungheap?
A proportionate raise for someone already working at $12/hr would raise their base pay to $24/hr; that works out to $960/wk, or just a little under $50K/yr -- which is a lot less than most teachers, or office workers earn. (And don't forget that those individuals often have to furnish the trappings of their careers, such as more-expensive clothing, at their own expense; and might face pressure to work more than the usual 40-hour week while limitd to a straight salary). .
Oh yeah, we know; you think your employer has a huge vault full of money -- somewhere -- from which he/she can satisfy all your fantasies without raising the prices paid by the rest of us.
It's time to grow up.
Why do you not take your own advice if you are only making $12 and find a new job or get more skills. You telling others to grow up is the pot calling the kettle black.

practicing how to keep the office chair warm? doesnt that cover the gap?

Even a Telemarketing job is much better than Mcdonald's and offer full time pay and more money. Now that is a job someone fresh out of college can do while they work on getting their preferred job.
