How come is it hard for me to get a job?
I apply to places and I even go to the places to follow up my application and they always say they are going go call me but they never do, is it better to be persistant and keep asking them to follow up my application? or should I wait?
and would you like to share any interview tips? thanks

Follow up is a good thing - as long as you aren't starting to appear desperate, always appear confident and a little competative.
As far as interviewing tips... Dress one position higher than the position you are applying for. Smile (not only will smiling make the interviewer believe you are confident, but smiling will make you feel more confident). Answer questions in full sentences, even repeat part of the question now and again, especially if it is a two part question. Answer questions as if they are a story, and you have the best story to tell. There is no such thing as a "yes or no" answer, always expand at least a little. Thank the interviewer for thier time - then a day or two later, send them a thank you card or letter, and say that you look forward to hearing from them soon. The more times you put yourself on thier minds, the more they will remember you over other applicants, and the more likely you will be chosen over someone else with similar qualifications. Also, make in impression on someone higher up than the interviewer if ever possible.

Always be persistant, but even then finding a job in this economy is extremely hard. try waiting till the school year starts up, when all the people who had summer jobs are leaving. And when you do turn in an application make sure you call them and ask about the status of your application. bug the hell out of them ; it shows them that your actually interested in the job you applied for. Good luck with finding a job.
Ps. A little prayer never hurt anybody.
