Ry-Nasty wrote Working in retail (clothing store in hs, now at tech store in college) was really nice when I was in high school. Helped a little with people skills and such. Plus, you usually get some sort of discount being an employee.

I've tried some, any specific ones?

American eagle was really easy to work for (none sure if it's nationwide but I didn't have any problems at the one I worked at). I also worked at Banana Republic but my boss was constantly an anus to me so I quit. Currently, I work at my college's campus apple store and it's great so maybe a local apple store?

What does working at an Apple store entail? Just recommending people products and digitally checking them out?

Try your local internet service provider. I started working for mine in december and rn i make $12/hr, with 50 cent raises every six months, plus free cable with all the channels, big discounts on ppv and movies, Tivo, $5.95 for 200 down 10 up, soon changing to 300 down, they offer the 100 down for employee's for free but i wanted the better speed, they also have no cap. I could of also of gotten the phone but felt no need for it, it's a good deal for me

You just need to know the ins and outs of every product in the store so you can properly assist people. Other than that, not a whole lot. Since the place I work at doesn't only sell apple products, I have to also check out OU themed apparel and other knick knacks. Basically I am a glorified cashier who occasionally has to help someone find the right product or answer a question or two.

Noice there's only 1 apple store in like a 20 mile radius of me and it's all digital checkout on iPad's and stuff so I would prob have to do something like that haha

Apply where you want to first, then work on throwing your resume out to everyone. The biggest thing is knowing your worth. If you just throw yourself at an employer and you don't like that job it will be hell. Focus on what you want to do and don't worry about the travel time. Of course if you knock on every door of places you want to work, then start looking at alternatives. Depending on where you are you could get involved in a union to make a ton of money.


EDIT:
Forgot to mention, I do a lot of work at Microsoft stores in malls and they seem like a great place to work. Everyone I talk to loves their job there, it's a great environment, and best of all they have free drinks and sometimes snacks.

Yeah I'll try that, so for the in person approach I basically go to the store and ask something along the lines of "I'm interested in working here, do you guys happen to be hiring?"

Also, remember to always ask to talk to the manager when handing in resumes. Its a lot better than just giving it to a regular employee.
