What a kerfuffle.

• Send in your CV and a covering letter, tailored to the requirements your workplace wants
• If that fails, get down on your knees and beg
• If that fails, stalk the manager and blackmail him, threatening to lock his family in an underground dungeon, where they will be forcefed turkey twizzlers from Iceland until they come out of their nostrils and ears
• That should probably work

All these places I’m applying to require retail experience but where am I supposed to get that if I can’t get a job in the first place?!

What, am I supposed to have been born with Retail Experience? Where else am I supposed to get it?
