I put my Tobacco farming, my job at Hardees, and my work in a family business on my 1999-2000 Delta app.

First--it wasn't THAT hard to remember what I did was I was 17. The experiences helped shape me into the person I am, and I was proud of a long history of working.

Next--I hope it showed work ethic and grit.

Why would you NOT want to tell your employer you were working all those years ago? Although the Hardees I worked at closed and was torn down, I put the info down anyway. And…when I tracked down my old boss at an FBO in LaGrange, Ga…a retired Delta Captain…guess who asked if I needed a sponsor?

All the more reason for young guys to put down the X box, get off mom's tit, and go get a job. The more you work, the better you application will look. My oldest has worked since 15 and has cleaned barns, worked in a restaurant as a hostess, washed dogs at a groomer, and now works at an FBO. Think she is going to have any trouble convincing anyone of "work ethic" when its time to ask for a job?
