you are a youngster I would take it...

that said, it's a huge place for a kid

go to the mall and see what you can find
you can always hit up target and walmart, and similar places for easy jobs...very easy at walmart I would take it, lol

If you don't mind pulling graveyard, see if you can get the graveyard shift in the electronics department. Go apply for normal, do an outstanding job, volunteer for graveyard 6 months or so later, and you're set.

I did that but had to move on

also if you are near any themeparks those are good

You and me are in the same boat pal, Been out of work for 6 months too. I don't work fast food cuz I also can't deal with customers, previous job was Tech Support for DirecTV. I'm looking to find a stocking job too, either at wal-mart or Lowe's, even applying for a pizza chain hoping I'll just make pizza and bread sticks.

You gotta demand that interview, if you want that job. If they see that you keep calling for one, they'll see that you really want the job, and eventually give you an interview. If they don't call back, it's probably because they also have lots of other applicants to deal with. So you should call back yourself. At least in my experience.

I tend to wanna do that, but I never call. I'm hoping some day that the perfect job will fall in my lap, either that or Jessica Alba

. I'm more than likely gonna move in with my dad for a month or so and look for a job in his town then get myself an apartment or move in with my brother. Greatest thing about the next town over, they have cable internet available at almost every apartment there.
