to not want to work in a supermarket ..

[Lola528]

Yes, it is very snobby of me I know, and especially right now it’s a “needs must” situation when so
many are being made redundant and don’t have much choice. The only jobs where I am right now seem to be in a supermarket or cleaning houses or offices (I’m a rubbish cleaner).

It may be petty, but I don’t want it on my CV amongst the other jobs I’ve had (aviation/travel working with major players of the industry) to then have “Asda” or equivalent as my most recent job. I just feel I have so much more to offer but nobody in my industry of choice is hiring right now (understandably).

AIBU to think this will go against me for future job opportunities? Or will future potential employees understand this is a blip of “COVID times” and not see it as a negative? Am I just being stupid?

The vast majority of supermarket workers are from very different backgrounds - especially now.

The majority of customers are fine but you do get the odd one - enough to make you redo your cv.

Regarding covid, I can fully understand any concerns re sd - particularly with Xmas coming up and shops getting busier.

Amazingly, we haven't had that many cases, though. Maybe 8?

Thank you @JustGotToKeepOnKeepingOn

I am so glad to hear you are enjoying your new job...I'm sure you bring much happiness to many people during the day whilst you're working.
You have the right attitude to be an asset to any company! Job skills or training can (mostly) be learned (lol, I'm with you @Defenbaker...there is no way I could learn the skills to be an efficient cashier), but a good attitude is almost impossible to learn.
@Lola528, I hope things are going well....do you have any interesting stories or encounters you can share with us about your experience?

BTW, my friends daughter has started working for DoorDash or GrubHub...can't remember which...anyway, she is making average of $1000 a week !
