What I want to know is, when you're applying for a job shovelling chips into paper bags or putting tins of beans on shelves and they ask you why you want to work for McDonalds/Sainsburys - surely they know as well as you do that the answer is "I can't get anything else, I need some money, and you've got a vacancy". So why do we play this game of pretending it's some kind of career ambition at interview?
Being autistic, when I first interviewed for a Saturday job at Clarks I answered the question honestly but was still appointed.
I wonder if that would happen today?
Mind you, biggest challenge mine are facing trying to get McJobs or similar is even getting interviews. They fill in the online forms and never hear a thing. Try any other approach and you just get told to fill in the online forms.
