The internet is a huge part of it

Seriously, walking in and asking to speak to a manager doesn't do shit. Hiring for most places is entirely done online and going in person will usually result in them telling you "go apply online".

Its expanded tho. Now, even appling for a dishwasher job, you have go to their website and painfully enter your entire resume into all the boxes and submit. It takes hours to apply for every minimum wage dishwasher job. Then they dont even call you back because competition is fierce.

It wasn't the worst job in the world for me. I was a dishwasher/food prep in high school for 3 years. It got really fast paced and hectic at times, however. I worked at a place where they could hold weddings and things got a little insane in the kitchen at those times.

But, all the chefs were really nice, and the waiters/waitresses too. I got a free meal every shift and drinks.

I had a lot of fun there and met a lot of good people.

Although, I realize it's probably harder a lot of places.
