Either they want to operate on a skeleton crew to reduce costs, or they don’t want to be used as short term stepping stones, so if they look at your resume and suspect even a little that you have upward mobility, you won’t be considered. Shit sucks.
I suspect the correct answer to “where do you see yourself in 10 years?” is something like “I don’t know, here? Just looking for a long-term job where I can be part of a great team!” Give them your availability, you don’t even have to mention you’re a student!
4.6 is very good on a 5-scale. Are you in, or have you completed, some sort of continued education? University, college, vocational school? All signs that you’ll leave as soon as that’s finished or something better comes along.
Do you live with your parents or have large gaps in your resume? Shows that you have some sort of support network and aren’t desperate for work. If you aren’t desperate, they can’t abuse you as much.

Really? That is crazy.
Oh shit, my 4.6 gpa is too good for them? And all my volunteer experience?
Oh, naw, the volunteering ist gutt—let’s them know you’ll work for free.
I mean, yeah. At a charitable thrift store that helps homeless animals.

Very good, but shows upward mobility. Even though from how it looks, that mobility isn’t going to last so well. And I’m in high school lol
