I never managed to get a job with my CV in retail stores either. I've only had 2 jobs, one I don't even remember applying for, my details must have been passed on soemhow but heck I took it anyway cos I needed the money. I had another job at the same time as well, but I only phoned up when I saw it on a job website and asked if it was still available and got a call back a few days later with an interview. Guess I got lucky But now I need a job again, and my CV looks shit as ever still. Doubt I'll get a job
