Then try Walmart. Then Taco Bell. You just need a pulse for some of these places

Any idea why you’re not getting these jobs? If they’re hiring, and you come well dressed, with good hygiene, and ready to learn, you should get the gig

well for starters, there's no real opportunity to "come" anywhere or in any way. at the beginning of my job search i physically went into places. either there was no person of a managerial position there or they said "well you just have to apply online". even local small owned coffee shops that i walked into said "just take this card and email us". i pivoted to applying to 20+ jobs some days, with a custom cv for each one. 90% don't even respond. The other's send automated messages of rejection. I applied to build a bear workshop twice with no response. finally called to ask what was up and the manager said "i have no way of even seeing who applies, someone else should have contacted you".
long-winded response but it gets frustrating when people who aren't in this situation pass judgement. why would i not be applying to every job that i can when im drowning in debt?

What does your resume look like? Could just be that it looks unprofessional? Those places are always hiring its crazy you wouldn't hear anything back.

You dont need a resume to apply for Taco Bell and Walmart. You just fill out their application. If you handed them a resume they'd probably throw it in the trash.
They always need people especially Walmart. They'll hire convicts and people who have never had a job. They just want you to show up.

i genuinely wish i could send you a copy. i took a template from the havard job center resume template document. filled it with job experience (non stop working, either part-time or full) for the past year and a half. including one job from this past fall working on the governor's campaign. still getting straight up ghosted by almost every job. ive been called in for 2 interviews, both interviewers told me that they were really impressed with my resume (1 law firm, 1 leasing agency). got rejected from both saying "they'll keep my resume on file for the future" i've also had several personal connections who've looked over/proof read it.

Have you tried temp agencies? I’ve had pretty good luck with them getting me into the door and then getting hired on full time with the company I was placed with.

i tried one but it seemed more like a scam than anything? i'll try again. thank you.

It seems virtually impossible you can’t get a job at these places.
