Here comes the point of the job hunt where you unfortunately have to do something that's not cool: Lie. Go on google, read on how to operator a POS register, then tell them YES you have experience. Where do you have it from? You learned how to use one from a volunteer event for a 5k, selling tshirts.

There, put that on your experience.

Do they never even check?

Not really. Most volunteer events I go to never have contact information to verify I was even there. Put it this way, even if I had a job at Subway, and I went to another place and they checked. They can legally only ask if I've worked there before. They can't ask what type of employee I was or anything like that, because they (subway) can be legally sued for declamation of character.

Being said, they won't check, as they can't ask anything other that: "Where you there"? If you had the information, even. If it was a one day volunteering event, they won't ask. However, while most POS systems are the same in concept, they are really different. As long as you go into a POS system and understand how one works, they will take the time to tutor you about how theirs in particular works. Honestly, I embellished on my previous applications with Disney to get my job there. Now, though, I have experience and I no longer need to do that to get interviews.

I guess all I can do is try, right?

I agree. Just remember the main thing: If you do it, you can't ever say you did it.

Hang in there my snakey friend. Don't let life get you down! I really don't know any good leads to jobs as well (considering I'm jobless as well), but don't let depression grab a hold of you! Just keep swimming and I'm certain something good will spawn up soon in you life, Just you wait!

Also stop beating yourself up Snakey! Life is a strange evil beast sometimes, that can't be easily tamed. Also I don't think your annoying you seem kind of cool (atleast I haven't meet / talk to you enough to consider you annoying at the moment.)

P.s I read this journal about three-four times already trying to think of something to say. So I'll just leave my notes here. I know its probably lame, but whatever I'm not here to win an award here. -_-

I do appreciate what you're saying...I'm just sick of bad luck. I know something will come around eventually, but it still sucks...

But thanks for being supportive, it does help

No problem what are strangers ahem... I mean "friends" for!

Stay cool axe, he probably didn't catch it.

what kind of retail stores have turned you down for not having experience? Cause let me tell you, I work at target and sometimes it seems like the pull any ol' dumb ass out of the pile of applications to put on register, or on the sales floor, who have no idea what they are doing.

What kind of area do you live in? Is there a lot of stores around for you to apply at? Keep trying! Look for the dollar stores. Not sure what's in your area but we have like Dollar Tree, Dollar General, Family Dollar, Just a Buck, stuff like that.

As far as the art goes, sadly it's very uncommon for someone to just BE GOOD at something out of the blue. Sure there is having a natural knack or gift at it, but it just takes practice. This isn't really as closely related, but I used to be REALLY good at DDR years ago. Recently I got some dance pads from a friend and went to go play and I sucked and it really pissed me off, but I play a little bit each day now, trying to get better cause I know damn well I'm not gonna jump on the pad one day and be playing the hardest songs again!

I know I only just started watching you recently, but I love the fandom and I want to see people in our big family happy, so hang in there dude!!

I've applied to Target, and they always tell me I need more experience, no matter what I apply for. And for the art, I like doing it, I just want to be better at it...All I need is some practice and/or a good tutor.

And I do appreciate the support, it means a lot
