Exactly. Every single person who is either hiring or a head hunter or employment expert on TV says that.
Obviously the OP lives at home or something and has no rent or other responsibilities. He is making a HUGE error. There are always excuses you can make for working a lower level job. You can't make up reasons for a blank resume.
Even the Dunkin Donuts on my corner is hiring FFS. I'm a pet sitter and my associates cannot even find a competent, trustworthy common sense person to hire. Apparently taking care of person's two most important possessions their home and pet is "beneath them". Good - don't apply to my company. I had ONE CLIENT spend $22K last year alone.
I'm telling you this as a fact.
For professional jobs, having non professional jobs on your resume works against the applicant in most cases. At best, he employer or recruiter ignores them and at worst they assume that something is wrong with the applicant for working such a job (especially if it's anythingb longer than 6 mos) .
When one is looking for a professional job, you don't get points for working non professional, low wage jobs.

And if they are low wage positions they have to have some type of connection to the professional job you are applying for

And here's another one to tell you "as a fact" that you couldn't be more wrong. From where on earth are you getting this rubbish? You're obviously not an employer and never have been ...

And you're a hiring manager? A headhunter? A recruiter? I doubt it, if you were, you wouldn't be saying what you're saying.
Going to Hamburger U and having the title of Lead Fry Guy doesn't qualify you as a professional...just wanted to point that out to you.

I've read some really stupid things on this forum, but this one here takes the cake. Hands down. Wow. Clueless.
I suggest you spend more time with your grandmother...she's one smart cookie.

What about being an employer? Th guy who mows my lawn is an employer....of illegal Mexicans and central Americans. So what? Not all employers are created equal.
I'm telling you this from the point of view of the NYC professional job market.
If I had to guess, you are older and still stuck in the past. Times change and conditions evolve. The divide between professional and non professional jobs is as great as it ever was.
You can be the greatest worker for decades at a **** job now and you'll still live in poverty. A capable person at a crap job is simply screwing themselves nowadays.

And what about being an employer? Whatever point you're trying to make is so out there that it's unintelligible. Not all employers are created equal? Who'd a thunk! That's some revelation.

I was telling my cousin this last year about the divide. You saw one job posting for a director and then another job posting for janitor lol. It was like all the mid-level jobs were being eliminated and all you saw was high level and low level positions.

Well...I'd rather take the low paying job and get something on my resume than just sit on my ass and watch Judge Judy all day. Taking a low paying job doesn't mean you'll stay there forever. Taking a low paying job shows that you are a hard working person and you're not the type of person to just sit around and do nothing.
This call center job I landed doesn't have the best pay in the world and the hours suck, but I would rather take that and do it for a while than to just sit around, waiting for this magical job to fall on my lap.

This is survival mode now.
Why does not taking a low paying job mean you are home watching TV??? You can be home creating new cover letters or resumes so you can be in a better job somewhere down the line
