Re: Getting a job?
When my daughter went for her first job, she spent weeks refining her resume and then dropped off more than thirty in a day. She got three replies, and staff turnover in retail is high. I wouldnt be surprised if there were fifty applications for every job, so you should expect more rejections.
I agree with stinky, you need to stand out and be prepared to work at getting the job.
Also try dropping off your resume and then go back in a day or two to follow up with a "Hi, I dont know if you remember, but I dropped of my resume yesterday and wondered if you had a chance to look at it yet". Chances are they havent, but you persistence will move it further up the pile.
Cockiness and/or arrogance will count against you. How you think of yourself affects how others see you, perhaps aim for a quiet confidence in your abilities.
