I was a manager at a RadioShack. And it was a franchise, so it’s even less verifiable (I think). Not a regional manager though. Oh, I mean, I was a district manager.

Only if you're fucking old.
"It says here you were a general manager at Radioshack?"
"Correct"
"They went bankrupt in 2015, which would make you.... 11, at the time?"
"I started young"
Yes I was most important manager at Circuit City which closed because the covid and I haven't worked since. Job please.
RadioShack is still around. Not sure how good it is.
Interestingly, it started as a mail order business in the 1920s, switched to retail stores in the 1960s, and then in 2017 it switched back to an online only / mail delivery business.

no one is hiring someone solely based upon your experience of working at any of those locations ... Ever.
-
Nearly every HR (realistically any job that earns over 65k a year) have systems like TheWorkNumber, ADP, Credit Bureaus to get your employment records.
-
If you done fucked up, they can request tax records and I can guarantee you that all those businesses you listed very much have their tax records available from the IRS.

This idea worked like 10 years ago... Even shitty HR have figured this out by now.
Was Radio Shack as cool as Tandy stores in Europe?
What is a Tandy store?
It was heaven for teenage nerds. Transistors resistirs wires soldering irons weeeeh and all in a paper catalogue to read for hours
Sounds like Radio Shack in the before times, that is until their primary focus became cell phones and dvd players.
Pretty sure they must be related, considering yes radio shack sold that stuff as well, and they sold Tandy computers
You cant prove i didnt own all of em: think the smrartest
Uhhhhh, that just means you're a terrible businessman, who ran a long standing major chain into the ground.
