Show up early, ask good questions, and send a thank you note! http://www.snagajob.com/resources/interview-tips/
I have used this website for dozens of applications and I have had no luck . When I contact the people who are suppost to be hiring, they tell me that they haven’t hired in months.
Same here. there are a lot of scam employers on this page. That don’t have any kind of screening process for potential employers on snagajob.
Hi Steve – I am sorry you are frustrated. We are pretty good at getting scammers off our site, please let us know if you think one got through. If you are unsure about a posting, send it to besafe@snagajob.com and we will look into it for you. Thanks!

I need a job bad i really need help ive put in applications but nothing seems to work
Hi Kayla. Be sure to double and triple check your applications for spelling and grammar errors. Even the smallest mistake can make the biggest difference. It is always a good idea to have someone look over your application with a fresh set of eyes, you may have missed something! Good luck with your job search! These tips can help: http://tinyurl.com/76fzuze & http://tinyurl.com/7j8pgkd
keep calling let them know yu want to be involved yu cant never wait on a job to call yu… ur always supposed to call them a couple day after putting in your application then just call like once a week you will get hired because they knw yu want to get involved…. I WISH YU THE BEST OF LUCK!
congrats to you and jus remember to hav fun with it
Hey, how do you submit your resume on your profile?
Hi Antoinette – You can copy and paste parts of your resume in the appropriate fields on your profile. Be sure to check for formatting, as it may look a little funny when you first paste it in there.
Let me know if you have any other questions! Good luck
I’ve applied to a numerous amount applications, probably around 50. I’ve had like maybe 2 interviews but not much luck landing a job. Before I submit each application I double check my spelling and make sure to answer each question with great information. It seems as if I’m not getting any look. Maybe the next application will be the one.
Hi Kayla – It sounds like you are taking the right steps. Have you been following up on your applications?
Same here kayla. I can’t even count how many aps I’ve filled out. In one day I did 27. And that’s just one day. I’ve checked spelling and grammar, which is shallow to deny someone a job at burger king over spelling. But that’s neither here nor there. I’ve followed up, I’ve had 2 interviews. One interview they brought about 50 people in a room all together and thanked us all for coming and just told us how their company works. Sorry but that is not an interview. Other companies I’ve called directly told me “we are not hiring” meaning snagajob is posting employers that are not when even hiring. And that’s messed up. But I feel your struggle and your not alone in it. I just keep trying and applying. Something has to land eventually.
There are ‘tips’ out there about following up, face to face with the employer, etc. Most times what I see is that employers DON”T want you to do this. Some even write on the job listing that if you do any of these things you will NOT be hired.
Hi Sherry – We hear from our members who say they think the only reason they got the job was because they followed up on the application. We also hear from employers that following up is very important in the application process. You are correct, there are places out there that do not want you to follow up. If it specifically says not to in the posting, then don’t. Other than that, go for it.
I NEED A JOB ASAP already Submitted 20 and plus applications and non stop calling and still no Call or reply’s at all i was going to give up but gving up isn’t a option for me Its like ii keep trying and nothing Happens I feel like sometimes its pointless and im 16 and im a sophmore tying to Get a Part-time job and nothing is happening
Hi Mack – I am sorry you aren’t having much luck. I know 20 seems like a lot of applications, but in a competitive market, you may have to send in many more applications. We actually just created a video on how to find a job fast: http://www.snagajob.com/resources/video-series-how-to-find-a-job-fast/. Check it out and let me know if you have any other questions!

Well thank you Snagajob. I was working at Sams then I quit because of the conditions. So when I started to look for work it was harder than I thought. So then I tried Snagajob. after a few tries I still didn’t get a call. And by that time I was ready to give up. But then I decided to keep at it. So then I applied to a few more positions and on that same day someone called with a job opportunity. I had a phone interview and the next day I was hired after the one on one interview

Hi. I am new in the US and I just got my Employment Card. I really want to get a job here but unfortunately, I have no experience working here yet. What job should I apply since I have no experience working in the US yet?
Hi Lanie! Do you have relevant experience you can list from your previous location? It will still show the employer that you do have experience and skills. If you are looking for something a little more local, think about volunteering somewhere. This will not only give you experience, but will also give you valuable connections and references. Good lucke!
Thank god for your website , now i am a sale associates at kohls .

Hey, Make me top on the list and hire me this time.
Hello There,
I have been looking for a job since August and I finally got one…, but it wasn’t any help from snag a job. It was a job I had already worked at, (a theme park here in my state,) and they needed people for the Fall season to help close out the park.
I have applied for many jobs here on snag a job, filled out my profile, put down my reasons why I needed the jobs to begin with and no one has seem to shed any light on me. I have even called, visited and re-applied for places just to make sure all my information was correct and still nothing. Recently, in the last two weeks, I have been re-apply for more jobs here through snag a job because I need two more jobs onto this one to pay a fraction of the bills I have piled. Recently , 2/3 of the jobs have pulled up the “We’re sorry! You’re not qualified enough for this job. Your application was not sent to the employer for further review” message. After so many of those in a row I was deterred yet again.
You hear all these success stories, I have good background and qualification and I have work experience. I’m nineteen years old, in debt already with terrible credit, barely affording a car I can’t even drive because it’s in dire need to finish being fixed who’s on the verge on losing everything who’s trying to go to college finally. It supposed to be easier for younger people with ambitions and drive to get a job, but when even the fast food joint who is crying out for new employees denies you there’s something wrong. That’s just my “two cents.”
I have been applying and nothing yet! Every one says they not hiring
I been applying and calling places daily! And still no job
I have been applying for a job but no job still. I hope soon some will give me a chance. I think snagajob.com is a great place to start for a job.
I applies at this website and i got a interview at home depot warehouse. But i ended up going with a tutoring company. Thank you snag a job.
I think that snag a job a great place to start when looking for a job. This company makes it easy to look for jobs as well as to apply for jobs because we get directed to the company we want to apply. One of the best thing about this company is that you have email alert about all the new jobs which gives me a advantage to apply for the position. Over all i would have to give you a 10 out of 10 for Snagajob.com
I have use many companies to help me look for a job and so far i have to say that snagajob.com has been the best personally. I like the fact that you make it very easy for me to find what ever type of job i want. Another great thing about this company is that once i sign up with them they send me a email with all new jobs. I personally would give them five stars out five. I would have no problem recommending this company.
Thank you so much for your kind words, Zoila! Please let me know if there’s something I can help you with

hi i have a question and it is when i go to put in applications, people look at me like i don’t belong here or have the look of why are you putting one in. I like to work because I don’t like things being handed to me. I want to know why others can get hired but not me. Can you give me some tips on how I can stand out to show that i want to work?
Hi there! Check out these articles: http://www.snagajob.com/resources/tags/standing-out/. There are some really great tips on how to stand out and get noticed. Good luck!
hi I’ve been applying for jobs and haven’t had any luck. When i walk in to places, people look at me like i dont belong here/why are you even applying here because of my color. Can you give me some tips on how i can stand out on wanting to work at a job without my skin color stopping me?
Thanks snagajob, I landed an interview with Kohl’s where I was offered a associate position durning the holiday work season.
That’s great, Malquita! How did you like working there?
I’d been searching for 3 mos. and was on the verge of losing my home. I tried all the other job sites and got nothing but an abundance of college calls (like unemployed means uneducated). After only 2 1/2 wks on snagajob I was hired by one job and just finished an interveiw for a 2nd. Thank u so much snagajob.
I am having a problem finding a job. I have spent about 2 years trying to find a job in my area and not even ONE employer replied back. I have done some volunteering work (both were one day) and I don’t think that’s enough experience. I’ve applied for jobs with other websites even from spam, I really gotten nowhere there. I have been out of high school for about half a year now and would like to advance in life. It limits it even more since I can’t drive. Probably applied to about 30+ places and still nothing. I tried following up on a few, but they still haven’t gotten me nowhere. Then I did some research recently and saw that employers want the best qualified candidates to fill their positions. I also have a resume and checked multiple times for mistakes. I am beginning to hate the HR because they are so choosy with their applicants. I also wonder why they don’t at least reply back and say that my application has not been accepted or I have not been qualified for the position. It’s really starting to blow mind and it’s like what are they thinking? There has to be some trick to this job thing. I apologize for this long comment but please take the consideration to read it please.
I have read about on the internet about why employers can’t call me back about if my application wasn’t accepted and why I didn’t get the job. Are they really that busy with reviewing several resumes and applications that they can’t even call you back? I’ve also learned that they use something called Applicant Tracking Systems or ATS to review the application before the HR sees it. So basically, it will be so simple if they can just notify you that your application was accepted or rejected. Also, another thing I don’t understand is that interviews also mean that you won’t get the job, but I always keep ending up at the application submission part, even when they are giving out interviews. This job thing is such a paradox. So is there anything that I could do to increase my likelihood of getting hired?
I haven’t had a single phone call or email or anything about the dozens of jobs that i have applied to. I can’t even count how many. I don’t know if these other testimonials are fake or they’re just living in some lucky cities.
Hi Heather! I promise that our testimonials are not fake. Are you following up on your applications? I hear from many of our hired members, who tell me that following up is why they got hired. Have you thought about following up in person? We talked to a major national employer who told us that following up in person is very effective. Take a look at this article: http://www.snagajob.com/resources/following-up-in-person/ and let me know if you have any questions!
After about 30 or so applications and absolutely no interviews I don’t even care about getting a job anymore. I’m way more qualified then all the kids at my school that have jobs but I guess it’s about who you know not what you know.
How do I know that my application has been submitted or recorded for further action. There seem to be no feed back.
Hi there! As soon as you submit your application through Snagajob, it is sent directly to the employer. After you submit your application, your next step would be to follow up on your application. Check out this video: http://www.snagajob.com/resources/video-how-to-follow-up/ where we break it down for you
