How do I get a job somewhere?

A first job, cause I'm 17, been looking everywhere and I know all these people at the businesses have been bull$hittin me with this, ''well, if you go on our website at blah blah blah'' even when I know they're hiring. I guess every McDonalds and every gas station in the U.S expects some James Bond to just show up with a resume. What am I supposed to do?? HELP!!!

The secret to getting a job is to have a skill that is in demand. You are not going to get anywhere applying at McD as they have a large application pool to pick from who are willing to work for minimum wage and they can replace you with one phone call. If you can type & have PC skills perhaps office work is in your future, do you have skill in painting such as a room or house, are experienced in lawn care, able to work in a kitchen or restaurant, drive a car and know local streets maybe you would be of interest to a florist in delivering flowers, apply in manufacturing plants willing to learn a production skill. The key is to be able to offer an employer something most other 17 year olds can't. If you lack any skill maybe you should get some training in a occupation you have a talent for. Stay uneducated or untrained and you'll always be looking for a minimum wage job.
