Why is getting a retail job seriously so hard to get?! :(

Home More advice Jobs & Money

I'm 16 so I am able to meet the eligibility requirements to get a job. I'm really in need of a job so I can get the money I make for college and save my parents a lot of money and trouble. I have been searching for a job for six months straight and not a single call for an interview or anything. I applied for about 30 different places as of now, both in person and online, and I kept calling different places to see if any openings are available for employment. Everyone at my school got their jobs so easily while I, have to go through all this hassle :( And I do have volunteer experiences. Is that not good enough?

And yes, I know there's a huge economic/financial reception going on around the world but I'm keeping that aside for now.
