Job requierement: having a pulse. All they wanted to know is my name and when I could start. Will lose the job when the pandemic ends or case rates drop below a certain point but that's kind of a win-win. So yeah, my legs hurt from standing all day after sitting around for the last twelve months but I feel very lucky and happy nonetheless.

      No. To be fair the first job involved hazardous materials handling so wandering in was not a good idea.

        Yeah okay I wouldn't try to wander into an uranium enrichment facility lol. I was thinking more of jobs where you didn't really need any prior qualifications. Like working at a supermarket or gym or whatever. If you have to send them your CV and master thesis anyway it's probably easier to write an email from the get go.

          Oh, it didn't have any required qualifications, you could just hurt yourself without proper gear.

          I've never had a job that didn't require a CV, I guess there's a few independent shops that do that, but all the big Supermarket Chains and Fast Food places require you to apply through their online jobs portal.
