We have a standard practice we use to screen people who fall into a group that historically has not worked out; EVERY question must be answered on our application or the application goes into the junk stack. If you leave the reason you left previous positions blank the application immediately goes in the junk stack. If the reason you left is "not enough hours" and it doesn't look like you went directly to another job the application immediately goes in the junk stack. If the reason you left is you couldn't get along with your supervisor/manager the application immediately goes in the junk stack. If you have a criminal record and put "will explain" in the area for detail you will never get a chance to explain because the application goes into the junk stack. If you left because you wanted more money and didn't immediately go to a better paying job the application goes into the junk stack.
it was a fast food restaurant.. so a larger portion of the adult working population is able to do the job. If you are truly desperate for help.. you would not accept applications and then do nothing. I find it highly improbable that all 21 of these applicants fit all of the scenarios listed. I have worked in fast food (yes, it was 24 years ago) but they would hire just about anybody that maintained a body temperature of 98.6 degrees.
