The point we are trying to make is that any work experience is experience. Again, restaurant work requires punctuality and reliability.
I can take just about any job and find something about it that can be turned into positive resume fodder.
Year ago I hired a new video editor. He had been employed at the local news station. Budget cuts got him. He was waiting tables to pay the bills. I did not hold that against him. I don't hire talent based of resumes and portfolios, I make them "audition", freelance for a couple of weeks so I can assess their skills and "fit" with the rest of the group.
This was a gig this kid really wanted but he still had obligations to the restaurant and he worked his tail off to meet them.
That was a big thing for me, that he would not leave his current employer in a lurch for his own personal gain.
