I'm so frustrated...nobody wants to hire me!

Definitely don't lie on a resume! They will ask questions and you'd better be prepared to answer them! Lol. They'll find out if you're lying... and don't say you are good at something/know how to do something if you're only kinda familiar with it cuz you've done it a few times cuz they'll expect you to know how to do it if you say you do (trust me, been there, done that lol)

anywho, it usually takes a few weeks for hirers to call back from my experience... i applied at a few banks and i didn't hear ANYTHING back from them for a few weeks... i thought they had forgotten about me! and i also applied for this clinical lab technician position and they didn't call me back for a whole month to schedule an interview... so hang in there! sometimes it just takes companies a little longer to get through to you.

oh yeah, and definitely call them to follow up on your application. sometimes it just gets mixed up in the wrong pile and it looks good when you call! (well not excessively, but you know )

Haha me too! *hi-5*

I've applied everywhere, I either make it to the interview and fail there or I just get flat out rejected. I'm still in high-school and at home with the parents by the way so I don't depend on a source of income but still

Basically there's not a lot of jobs out there right now in my area, and I'm not allowed to travel. Also the jobs that are available aren't suited to my abilities.

Don't give up, some employers can take ages to go through the hiring process..seriously I applied for a job at a chainstore and they called me TWO months later. Sorry if I'm going off on a tangent.

i'm looking for a job too. i hate how my parents and my sister nag me about finding a job when in reality i am looking for one. it just takes time. i don't like it when i apply for a job and i tell them and they be like "why did you apply for that job for? it doesn't fit you." i hate that. now they tell me to find whatever job there is. they should just have said that a long time ago.

I lied on my resume before to get a restraunt manager position, my friend who owns a restraunt on the strip covered for me saying I worked for him for 2 years as an assistant manager. LOL Lie if you can get if away with it.

A lot of retailers are going to be hiring or at least starting interviews within the next month-summer people go to college, other associates leave for various reasons, and also beginning to staff for the Holiday season. That is one place to look, I would go around the mall and start picking up applications pretty much anywhere. It may not be glamourous but it's a way for you to get your foot in the door.
