Any advice on how to get a job? Ive applied to a few places online but havent gotten a call back. Whats a good way to apply should I go into the place and apply there with an application or just apply online or what should I do?

[Cobb]

Try to go in and apply. Although, some places will tell you to go online and apply.

Apply there with an application, and make sure you talk directly with the manager. Don't apply online or deal with the other employees.

[JWaLL]

Apply online or in person and then follow up with a phone call asking if you can schedule an interview with them. Applying online does nothing but put you into a database with a ton of other people applying. The most pursuing people are the ones most likely to get the job.

Oh okay. Thanks for clearing that up.

Knowing people helps too. That's how I got my job.

 

But yeah, applying online is stupid. Think about the thousands of other people just like you applying online. Definitely go in and ask for an application and if you can speak with the supervisor or manager. Just like Gil-Zero said.

yeah thats the best thing to do just keep calling them until you get a definite no or yes

 

also with places you HAVE to apply online if you know someone who already works there give them a copy of your resume and ask them to put it on the managers desk also that way you know someone will be looking at it

 

im still looking and its so hard im at the point were im about to give up

You need experience for most jobs, which is stupid because everyone asks for like 2 years of experience and you can't get experience because everyone wants it and no one will ever hire you.

I recently got a job @ Polo Ralph Lauren.. with no experience. Basically, I applied directly with the manager.. then had an interview.. then got the job.

 

But you should most def. go in and apply.

[Dr. Feelgood]

The thing about experience is pretty right on but some places are willing to take on someone who doesn't have experience, it's tough finding them. I didn't have any experience going into my job, now I've got TONS of experience from this one job.

 

Keep looking and never give up. No matter what.

That. I handed in an application to a employee and I never got a call back

 

Also try calling them if you haven't gotten a call within a week.

Yep. If you want the job, call them after applying.
