Anyone else having issues finding a first job?
Any tips on finding a job?

I've gone so desperate, I've started looking on CraigsList...

Be careful on CL, my friend had to sift through a LOT of scams to find a real job on there. If they replied to your inquiry instantly they are usually a scam of some sort.

Retail is always good for a first job, so are coffee shops. Hit up their web sites they tend to have places to apply, after you do that then go into the store to chat with the manager (if you go before they will just shift you to their website).

Good luck!

I'm being very careful, I've went into probably 20+ stores around here a couple or so weeks ago and applied, or hot their info to apply online, etc.
Still nothing.. sigh..
Thank you by the way..

I'm a dental hygienist and I actually found two jobs off Craigslist! You do have to be careful though, I won't give out any personal information until I know it is a legitimate employer. You can also try making a LinkedIn account or looking for job fairs in your area especially for seasonal places. My first job was at a ski resort/golf course. Remember, beggars can't be choosers

Best of luck!!

When you apply in person or drop of a resume get a manager's name, than call back and/or go back to the store check on the status.

Understand that as a manager you receive 100, 1000's of application some from people that don't really want to get a job but just have to apply. You need to stand out and to do so you need to establish a relationship and show real interest.

If you stay home waiting for something to happen, it won't, YOU need to make it happen by being persistent.

Never go on Craigslist to find a job lol. Go to the mall where there's multiple stores hiring all the time.

I tried the only mall we're able to go to... they probably had about 15 stores lest there and only half i could apply to, I applied to more at the strip mall near it...

Call centers. My first job and my brother's first job (beside paper routes and babysitting). Well, OK, my brother worked night shift at a 24-hour gas station for a few months first. . .that's a job that they always seem to be looking to fill. Nobody wants to work night shift. But that can also be a little dangerous. Call centers are safer . It's kind of a soul-sucking job but it pays the bills.
