I walked into a store in my town and they had me fill out an application form on the spot. I gave to the store manager who suggested I follow up the next week. I called and she said that while she had no openings at her store, she was aware of an opening in a nearby location and would be happy to give the name of the manager and have me call. I did and set up an interview in the next couple of days. I went to the store and met the store manager for around 30 minutes. I expressed interest in the position but never heard back from them. I chose not to follow-up, either.
