You would think it'd be particularly easy to gain a job at a mall in a store. I have discovered this is not so.
Either you come in at the wrong time and they've already hired all their part-time staff and only need seasonal staff from now on, they don't hire part-time in general OR they never call back because in the end you do not have enough good, solid retail experience and all those years in libraries and museums working hard so you could get your resume to look good go to waste because who in retail wants to hire a bookhead?
Sigh. All my good feelings about coming out of the mall today with at least a hope of getting hired was really shot today and it pretty much makes me want to cry. Therefore I'm going to watch some Freaks and Geeks and then maybe Adventureland and hope I'm in a better mood afterwards.
