What am I doing wrong? I am doing what I should be right?
I am an 18 year old male who used to work at Six Flags St. Louis. I had to put my two weeks in because my family was moving to another city. I lived in Eureka MO and now I live in Fenton. I drive a jeep wrangler and that thing is not cheep to fill up with the gas prices these days. I had to put my two weeks in July of last year, So i have pretty much been unemployed for almost one whole year. I have honest to god applied just about everywhere. NO JOKE. EVERYWHERE. When I see a "help wanted sign" or a "now hiring sign" I do NOT hesitate to go and apply. But the thing is I have honestly applied at every place about 7-8 times. (NOT kidding). My friend has never worked a day in his life and he just got a job at kohls. WTF!!!? I had to have applied there at least 5-6 times and followed up by calling the store asking if they can look at my app and going into the store asking if they can review my app. I even got a really good resume. But that doesnt help. What am I doing wrong. I am graduating highschool this year and my parents do NOT kid, they will kick me out of the house when I am 18 and done with school. I need a job before Im out of the house. What can I do to get a job. And the cool thing was, I wasnt kidding about applying everywhere in Fenton and in Eureka, Crestwood, Kirkwood. All the cities around me I have tried but nobody gets off there lazy asses to make a 30 second call saying "We are not interested" or "come in today for an interview." PLZ PLZ PLZ PLZ PLZ. Someone give me a answer. Not an answer that sais get over it, or you will find one just keep looking, or sucks to be you. I need someones help. I have about a month before Im out of the house. May 10th is when I graduate.

If you have counselors at the high school, specifically career counselors, I would talk to one of them about this. Might also want to talk to teachers and let them know you've been looking for jobs, get some suggestions, see what they think or if they can help you in any way. If you really have applied everywhere a bunch of times and keep calling, that's not helping. Those people probably know who you are by now and are now avoiding you as you are being annoying and not following normal etiquette. Once you apply somewhere, you should wait a week or two and then contact them. If you don't hear anything, then you move on for at least 90 days but they probably have your application filed for even longer, such as a year. If you don't get a call within a month or so, you're not going to get hired.
I don't have enough info to know, but there has got to be something wrong with your resume and/or applications if you've been applying everywhere and don't hear anything. Might want to have teachers and counselors look at your resume.
