I was like that, too I'd been applying for a job since I was 14, yes, places where I lived hired at that age I'd applied for a local Target store about eight times, each time was a solid no I even applied to Shoppers' food warehouse about three times, twice they said no, on the third time I went to speak to a manager and he said to come back after the weekend and he would have a spot for me I applied to multiple clothing stores as well, and even an Advanced Auto Parts, all said no Now mind you I had over 500 hours of community service work put in and that was my only experience Then I applied to Office Depot, where I told the manager in my interview that I had pieced together my own computer, and that I know how to troubleshoot for the most outrageous things On the spot, I basically got hired, he asked me how badly I wanted the job, and I told him I [i]needed[/i] the job, on the scale of one to ten, an eleven I ended up skipping the second interview, took a drug test, and was in two weeks later, from there, I ended up being promoted to supervisor in six months So my advice to you, smile, dress conservatively, elaborate on any and all skills you possess, and show that you [i]need[/i] the job, and not that you want it
