Can't get a job -.-
Okay so first of all let me say that i have no work experience and no one wants to hire me so yeah... i can't really gain any experience.
I applied to 3 different gamestops, starbucks, macy, wegmans(a food chain like shoprite but better), and a few more places. I have a High School diploma and i'm starting college this fall. I speak 3 languages(and 2 computer languages), i have great communication skills and i'm a people person. Can anyone please tell me what the hell am i doing wrong?

Do you have a resume? You can point out that you speak 3 languages and you're pretty much good to go, especially in customer service.

These are not really places that ask for a resume, more like fill out this application and we will call you up for an interview.

A follow up phone call usually helps too. Lets them know you're actually interested in the job instead of some random guy applying to all the jobs he can.Originally Posted by hackedx

Sometimes they don't even call me for an interview, nothing.

even after you hand in a Resume/Application the next day give them a call make sure they got it ask the about thew positions etc... so them your intrested... also keep handing in resume every couple of days persistence pays off.

A lot of teen are having trouble finding jobs. Most are being taken by adults who lost their jobs. Just keep trying I'm sure you'll find one.

This is just a bad year for jobs. Especially if you don't have boobs.

Bingo.. I'm 22 and can't keep a job, so sometimes I have to apply for "lesser" or jobs for newer workers.. I'm not very smart or skilled and have OCD with some other problems I'm not going into.. Anyway just keep at it.. Do the follow up calls and make sure to look nice/ask questions and get your face known when you're filling out the application.
