Well, heres my story and i think i'm fucked.

Alright well i signed up for a trip for next year thats to go to the bahamas with my friends. And right now i have about 900, so i thought hey ill get a summer job and work for the rest of it.
After 2months of repeated routine of everyday applying online, on kijiji, craigslist, or actual business's websites i have not gotten a single phonecall. I also have drove around and handed them out personally. And nothing, this is not only pissing me off but making me sick.

Why the hell is this happening, and what do you recommend that i do?

Edit: i am 18

Go to your local convenience store first where the person knows you, then if they have jobs available they should give it to you if they know you well enough ;) That will also help you gain some experience to put on your CV to make you look better to other companies etc. I'm only 15 and I got a job at my local convenience store :/ It shouldn't be too hard for you.

I sure hope that your grammar is better than it is in this thread, if not then that will be the problem.

Anyway, I can't get a job either but then again I'm 15 :p Best of luck and keep looking.

It all depends on age too. If you are 14 or 15, it is a lot of paperwork for the Employer side. Most places don't like going through the hassle of doing it, so they may have an age limit. Just keep your eyes open.

If you ever drop off your résumé to any place, represent yourself good? Dress nicely? Not fancy fancy, but look decent.

Theres no hope of me getting a job, i got fired from the store down the road
And go around posting it in offices for a laugh, go to McDonalds or something and ask if they're hiring
or look in the newspaper

Become a bin man since they're always looking for people to help the community! Also your signature is rather rad.

How old are you? Your age probably says it all, go for jobs you may have experience in? Flexibility to work is a great positive and maybe try the closest city/town or high street near you
