McDonald's Is Now Accepting Snapchats As Job Applications (thenextweb.com)

McDonald's Australian subsidiary is now accepting job applications via Snapchat. Specifically, McDonald's wants potential candidates to send the company a 10-second video using a filter that shows them wearing a McDonald's uniform. Matthew Hughes reports via The Next Web: The job applications, which McDonalds calls "Snaplications" (I vomited a little), will be the first step in the recruitment process. The company will then review the submissions, pick out the favorites, and send digital applications to those selected. Speaking to Australian news website news.com.au, McDonald's Australia COO Shaun Ruming said the company is looking for applicants with a "bubbly personality." He also added that he'd "learned a lot about Snapchat recently from my 14-year-old daughter."

    That PC crap about keeping women past their expiration date doesn't apply here

    I'll take rampant misogyny for 500 please, Alex!

    Women don't have an expiration date. Fortunately, it seems that around here, attitudes such as yours do.
