I had a job before and it was really easy to get. I just turned in an application and someone called me the same day. I had to quit though.
Now I want a new job. I've turned in 4 applications, and it's been about 2-3 weeks since and no one has called. I've applied at Eckerds, 2 Dollar Trees, and a clothes place.
I don't want to sound lazy, but I want a job that's easier than most. I don't want to work at a movie theater, restaurant, or grocery store. I'm really interested in hotels and travel, so I went to local gift shops, but none of them are hiring.
Talk to the employee or the managers, do some instant interview, and show them that you are capable in working with them by asking them to give you a trial day work.

If they haven't hired anyone, ask if you can apply in person. Employers most often hire people they interact with before they hire someone they only know from a piece of paper. Even if places aren't hiring, ask if you can fill out an application in case they hire in the future. That way, you'll know first when they are hiring and will get first dibs on the job.
