If it is absolutely imperative that you get a job, ANY JOB, in the next few days, go to a place you know is always hiring: Hit every fast food place within walking distance of your house.
Not having a license, or car is a major red flag for most employers. Without reliable transportation, most places will be less likely to call you unless they have NOBODY else. Sad, but true.
Make sure when you go into places and apply, that you ask if you can interview right away.
Tell them that you live within so many minutes of work.
I hope you do well.

The other poster is right, you have to either go in a meet them personally (if possible) or call over the phone and ask for the interview.
They get dozens of resumes and half the time don't really even read them. Yours could be passed up for some silly reason- so also make sure that your resume really looks good, no grammar errors or anything, clean layout, highlights skills, etc.
NETWORKING is the MOST effective way of them all. Talk to everyone you know, friends, neighbors, family, whoever and ask if someone they know is hiring.
It can be frustrating, but stay confident and keep at it.

To get hired for a job, you have to be persistant. Don't just handle your application to one of the workers, ask for the manager. Personally hand the manager your application, shake his or her hand, tell hem your name, a little about yourself, and that your very intrested in that job. Call them if they dont get back to you right away. It may seem annoying to you, but it will show the manager you REALLY want the job. It will deffinetly impress the manager and they will consider hiring you more after personally meeting you rather than just looking over your application in a pile of applications and not knowing who you are. Make sure you are showered, well groomed, very well dressed, and friendly when you meet the manager. Smile a lot. This will deffinetly up your chances.
