just keep trying, thats all you can do. im in the same boat as you. ive finally got an interview after a year of searching. me and my friends would go into the shops and ask if they had any application forms and they would either say no or take our c.v's off us

• Hi have you ever considered doing an apprenticeship? You could get a job in retail,gain valuable experience and qualifications at the same time.
  It is so hard to get a job at the moment,you need to make yourself the most employable by having experience in retail,i think doing an apprenticeship would help....
  
  good luck
• h i have just been through the same thing the only advice i can offer you really is apply for everything i have found that most retailers aren't interested in cvs unless you are going for management also if one employer has several vacancies send a form off for each one
