@AnonymousWoman If you don’t catch a break any time soon the best thing to do is apply just before Christmas season. Very early October retail is ramping up and they will hire just about anyone who looks the part. It is a temporary hire, but often they will hold onto you. Also, you need to be seen. If the store just takes on line applications that works against you. Go into a speciality store, many times they will interview you on the spot. Places like Victoria secret hire tons of girls for practically no pay, I don’t know how much money you need to make? Other stores will be better pay. Like an Ann Taylor. Do you know what o say in the interview? The sales jargon? Greet, suggestive selling, open ended question, overcome objections, close the sale, etc.?
