i cant even count how many applications ive filled out so far with hopes some one calls me. going on interviews are stressful, i don’t have much job experience, especially none in retail, and everyone seems to focus on that. im 18years old, how am i supposed to get retail experience if noone wants to give me a job. that shit is so backwards. funny thing is, im a dependable person and a hard worker. i am almost never late for anything and no one will ever know because nooone wants to give me a shot. smh whatever, my time will come
