Just got denied my college's nursing program, no biggie I'll apply again. Really want to get some cash flow, however. Got denied a cashier's position at all the local Targets, (local including cities over), and everything else requires experience. I've been job hunting online the past four hours to no avail. I just exited out of applying for a public safety dispatcher position because 75% through the application they finally thought to ask "oh did you take the fucking ECOMM even though this wasn't a requirement on the website."
Tomorrow I'm going to my local job corps and seeing what I can get done over there, but is there anything I can do before day's end?

You applied for cashier position. There are tons of hourly jobs you can apply for. I worked as a dishwasher for a year (in highschool though).
Had a friend in similar position as you though in his mid 20's. He got a job at a bakery while he continued applying to managerial-type positions, and he even had a 4-year degree!
Point is, just gotta apply to whatever shit job you can find and take the first one to accept you.

As a bonus for doing so, my friend impressed the interviewers for the managerial position by actually taking some obviously shit and temporary job. Instead of just doing nothing and waiting for the actual job you want.

Apply anyway. Not every employer can find the ideal employee for the open positions, so they sometimes have to take what they can get. You just have to to write a convincing application letter, get an invitation to an interview and then convince them that you could do the job despite your lack of experience. It doesn't hurt to try and you just might get lucky.

The cashier position was the only one they had available for all the Targets. Stockers, customer service, etc. was all booked up.
Even the dishwasher positions at local restaurants want experience it's fucking wild. But I'll apply anyway. What should I put on a resume when they wanna know my experience (which is none). Just reiterate to them how much I am willing to learn and garner new experience?

Take this with a grain of salt, but I've read a study that supports that taking a job you're overqualified for can hurt your employability in the future.
