is it really that hard to find a job as a cashier or to flip burgers with little to no work experience?

ffs

[ExtraordinaryTerrest]

It can be. Depends on where you live really.

Lie in your CV. Pretty much every employer I've ever had has never called my references. Plus, most places only ask for one or two references. Which means you can easily make up a job that they'll never check up on.

I'm sure the local waterparks are looking for cashiers and burger flippers.

[sweet21]

It is, the economy is fucking shit. You think burger flipping is mediocre job, and it is, but there's at least 100 applicants going for the burger flipping job you're going for. And if one of those burger flippers had work experience no matter how irrelevant yhey just toss your application in the trash.

Step 1: Get told you need experience for job
Step 2: Try to get experience for said job.

While on the subject since some have mentioned CVs. CVs are like all other methods of communication, the majority is the presentation, the minority is what is actually said. If you provide the CV unfolded in an A4 envelope that will stand out, the presentation of the CV itself is the next big thing, most employers will only read the personal statement and skills when they have a lot of CVs, making these full of goodness while not making them too long will make them more willing to read on. The best flipper in the world badly presenting himself won't get the place.

Just one of the many tips of CV building there. I should probably stop paying so much attention to all the job training courses I go on.

No, find fast food places that nobody goes to and apply to all of them hoping you get an easy position at one.

What I did for my job is just walk in and ask straight up whether they had a job for me. I got a call a couple of days later that I could come for an interview and they hired me right after.

So consider that method if you haven't tried it yet. It might be more effective than sending emails.

Every place I've tried this, they tell me to apply online. After I apply online and go back, they tell me that they'll check my profile and get back to me via email.

Maybe you smell better than I do

I know several chain store have the ability to file for a leave of absence while at college if it's out of the area.

problem is most jobs in my small dinky town are all taken. I'm moving to DC and transfer next year and hopefully have more opportunities for work there

no. especially when they don't have specific requirement.

i got my first summer job with no experience either. i worked in a foreign bank and being able to handle spreadsheet data was pretty much all they required.
