At McDonalds, maybe.
I used to call the most recent 3 places of employment (within a reasonable time period: 3-5 years or so) for anyone who made my short list for a position I was hiring. I don't care if you put the contact info on your resume or not, if you list it as a former workplace, I'm calling. It's not like finding phone numbers for businesses is hard.
If you said you were at (place of employment) for 2 years prior to applying to my job? I'm flat out calling the business and asking around. If they haven't heard of you, I'm only out 2 minutes of my time and that C/V goes into the trash.
Of course, I was known for having excellent staff at pretty much every single workplace I managed at, so I'm sure there are much lazier managers than I was, who would have just let crap fall through the crack and not do their due diligence, who would inevitably hire all of the other potential employees I wouldn't touch with a 10-ft pole.
Lucky when I broke into work I did not have you as a manager lol
All a kid needs is a break and if they have the work ethic and are able to pick up the job fast you're aces... At least it was in my case.
That's what I told my brother and he's doing all right at 21 and never graduating high school... 1500 pay cheques every two weeks
Lies get you ahead
