Job hunting all depends on your approach. The first time I tried to get a job, IMPOSSIBLE!!!! Because I wasnt prepared. I didnt get hired anywhere because I just collected applications, and then filled them out at home. I then turned them in about 3 or 4 days later. Next time? I went prepared. I would reccomend, for a first job, if you are an outgoing person, to do retail, like at the mall. they are always looking for outgoing people, even if u have no experience. So what I did second time around, is write down all of my references (get thir permission first, and make sure they will give a positive reference!!!!!) then I went everywhere I wanted a job, with a pen, and filled out the application right in front of them. get the name and # of the manager, and call them back the next day. if the manager isnt there the day you apply, try waiting until they will be. its best to meet them first off, that way they know who you are when they look thru hirees. Always ask if they are hiring first. Because some places dont need staff, but they are accepting applications. This means that urs will prolly go in the trash lol. (I know this for a fact, because I was in charge of hiring when I was assistant manager a while back) SO yeah. The second time I went job hunting, I used this attack, and I got 2 call backs within the first few days. If you know someone at a store, thats even better, because they can really put in a good word for you. Make sure you are dressed nice if when u go in there, even if its for american eagle!!! Suck up and wear their brand if you can. They want people who not only will work well, but weill promote thier product. Now a days, its a lot easier for me to find a job, just because I have some retail experience. I only applied to one place and got the job. :D
