text: why are there jobs hiring but when you apply you dont get no where?   appearance really matters, both yours and your resume.  have other people double-check your resume and make sure nothing is misspelled or grammatically incorrect. that can eliminate you before you even get an interview.  be confident and cheerful. dress appropriately and look like you are ready to start the job.  learn something about the company before you apply.  keep looking and don't give up.
