try getting a managers card and email them from there to see how come they always say hiring but won’t get back to you. sometimes managers suck and just choose to not say anything.

It is hard to get hired I think at least for an entry level job. Just keep applying is all I can say… I applied over and over and finally got 1 call back after doing multiple stores. The interview is long as well mine was 2 hours total. Good luck!

It all depends on the manager and most locations get hundreds of applications regularly. I don't believe the managers even check them all, they probably can filter out for what they're looking for and from there they look for candidates. Even if you have open availability if there are others with more years of experience, experience as baristas or leadership positions, they've left a resume, spoken to the manager in person and left a good impression, or they were recommended by a current partner then they usually tend to get an interview sooner. It really depends on what the manger is looking for, but most tend to hire in the summer because its when students tend to leave the company and before the holidays. Experience and open availability doesn't tend to guarantee you get hired though since most applicants have those things.

sometimes companies will get grants from the state if they advertise that they’re hiring (like unemployment just saying you have to look for work) but they never check or ask for proof, so even if they’re understaffed and actually need more employees, it’s free money

Could be your availability doesn’t match with what they need
