19 year old about to enter college here. I haven't had a job for 8 months and I can't find one that would call me bsck. the only one that did ask for am interview my mom told me not to do since it's a waiter job paid by tips. I have used so much money on my debit card and I might run out soon (my mom spent years saving for it)
tl;Dr why is it so hard to get a CALL back from jobs as teen? why do managers say "OK I'll check your resume" and put it under a pile of shit and forget about it?
Well shit dude, you should have done the waiter job

I wouldn't hire an idiot who wrote some words in Wordpad and called it a resume without trying to format it at least. Install Microsoft Office or at least LibreOffice and learn how to create documents that don't look like dogshit.

I know right. I was banned from doing it due to the supposed gradual loss of income (I'd lose money traveling to and from job) and the fact that if I did get the job from the interview I would've had to pay 80 dollars for a food vendor license

my resume is actually pretty neat. I had training at the end of high school in economics class about how to wrote a good resume. us I do use Microsoft Office, 2007 to be specific.

You're not advertising the fact that you haven't done anything in 8 months, are you? Put your summary of skills on top, and write them as sentences utilizing as many buzzwords as you can think of, that way they'll be the first thing they see after you impress the robots with your words.

i'm assuming the money you've been spending was for necessities, right?
but i feel you, i applied to probably ~8 places this summer, out of that only 2 even bothered to reply back. at least just leave a voicemail saying i didn't get the job so i'm not waiting for nothing.
my advice is to try searching online for entry-level jobs in your location and if you know anybody, friends or family, just say that you're looking for work and ask if they know anywhere that's hiring. good luck dude.

>8 places all summer

the job isn't going to come to you, you have to go looking for it.
