How long after handing in a resume do I have to wait for a call?
During the last month, I have handed out about 5 resumes, 3 to pet stores, a convenience store, and a Zellers. How long do I have to wait for them to call me to tell me whether they're going to interview me or hire me? I absolutely refuse to work in any food related business because of my family's restaurant, which I was forced to work for. Since I'm out of high school, and the college course I wanted to get into was full, I'm free for the whole year, 7 days a week. How long do I have to wait for them to call me? The longer it takes for me to get a job, the more hours I'm going to be forced to work at my family's restaurant! Currently, I'm also still looking for other places to apply as well. The more places I apply, the better my chances right?

You're spot on about applying to as many places as possible. Often finding a job is just a numbers game.
Wait a week before calling if you haven't heard anything yet. You can help yourself out with the stress of wondering why you haven't received a call yet though. When you turn in your resume, ask them if they have a timetable set on when they plan to begin interviews. That way if it's several weeks out, you won't unnecessarily spend time calling and possibly annoying an HR person or hiring manager.

If you know the store is definitely hiring call after a week to ask the progress of your application.
