If this story was this:
Ex Gardner and grocery store assistant tapped to become retail manager at H&M, no one, yourself included, would bat an eye.
The only reason it even sticks out is because everyone inherently knows those things are not relevant at all to the position.
Any negative spin on those things you are ascribing yourself.
The combination of being 22 with only those jobs as relevant experience is bad. Very bad.
Those jobs in and of themselves are fine. We are all capable of nuance. I don't hate gardeners or grocery store workers, they're all generally great.
