Okay.. I worked in fastfood for a long time and I hear ya... The first thing.. have a resume.. Even if it's only fast food on that resume.. show them you're prepared.. Any experience is better than none.. Learn how to use the skills you had from your other jobs and incorporate them in the one you want now... Make sure you put educational background.. Even if it's just highschool.. Believe it or not.. finishing highschool or getting there is still looked upon as better than not... Can you type??? Use Microsoft Word or Excel?? If you do, put it on your resume... Put some good references that can back your charactersitics as well.. Even if you only had fastfood experiences, some companies may want to see that you were dedicated to that job... That shows that you'll be dedicated at your new job.. If all else fails.. go to a temp agency and tell them what you're interested in... They'll place you in a temp clerical office job.. That'll give you experience even if you only work there a couple months...

Before you try to get an office job you really should take some classes for computer software to show potential employers that you made the effort to become familiar before you had to be trained by them. There are also classes at most community colleges that are listed as "General Clerical Work" You may want to look for adds that are just looking for answering the phone, filing and that sort of thing..if you can get your foot in the door and gain some experience that way it will make other future employers more interested..good luck!

NO ... not ever fired from any task - aspect time or complete time. I had labored in a coffeehouse and in a cafe in the course of my tuition days, no rapid meals. But only a few rapid meals areas exist in the ones days.
