No, it's not uncommon. You trim a good resume down for the most relevant experience. You could maybe leave it on for the teamwork aspect, but she's probably had better examples since then. I'd bet $5 her first legal aid or whatever resume mentioned it, but not as it's own line item.

Yeah, it is common to drop high school and college jobs unless it is relevant to the job you're applying for OR it is your first job out of college and want to emphasize your work effort.

Yes, I only list my computer science related jobs. No one cares that I worked in a grocery store, the student center and even burger King while I was in high school or college. I don't bother listing high school under education.

It common practice to curate your resume to the job you're applying for, you can smell the bullshit drifting off this one

You absolutely want to drop irrelevant jobs from your resume. You're spot on.

Trump's just mad because she's actually worked real jobs before, and he hasn't.

Cut out any experience that isn't relevant and is too old.

That being said, I did hire someone for a tech support position because he'd done five years at a McDonald's, which meant he was used to dealing with people.

I've had around 15 jobs since i was in high school, across multiple states with moves, some of them pretty brief when i found better opportunities, several in fast food, retail, and factory labor. I do not list any of them on my resume as a data engineer.

Nobody cares or wants to see your entire work history as a student. They want to see your professional work experience that is relevant to your desired roles. Hell I have even made multiple versions of my resume with different jobs listed or delisted depending on the field I was applying for.

But on none of them do i put that in worked at Burger King at 16 years old for 4 months, nor the better paying job I got at a Steak n Shake as a server where I worked until I left for college. I don't list my shitty campus dining court dishwasher job, or my Sam's Club Cafe job I had at College either. Now I have listed my programmer internship from this time though, even though I don't list the seasonal Gamestop job and the chicken processing jobs i had afterwards, because programming is relevant... chicken cutting is not. Just because there are gaps doesn't mean I wasn't working. I was far too broke not to.

It is common to omit short-term or less relevant experience from a résumé and to prioritize including jobs that are longer-term or more field specific to what you are applying for. Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence. If McDonald’s corporate was not directly involved with this stunt, perhaps they’ll clarify if Harris did indeed work for them in order to lessen the negative perception of Trump using their franchise.

Your pre-career jobs become less and less relevant as you get more experience. Once your career experience is sufficient for the jobs you are applying for all those pre-career jobs do is take up precious space on your resume and distract from the skills that actually set you apart from other job candidates.

I stopped putting McDonald's on my resume as soon as I stopped being a "college new hire".

One specific franchise location and they were closed to customers during the visit with the staged customers all vetted by USSS and having gone through a rehearsal ahead of time to practice what they were going to do.

Let's see him survive the Friday night dinner rush or those late customers coming in right at closing time.

I used to avoid McDonald's, I still do.

It's also just weird.

You would think that maybe he would do photo op volunteering to help the hungry, but working at McDonald's is apparently more hot for politicians right now.
