Yes, call them and let them know that you are serious about the job.

I know it sucks and I hate to hear anyone going through the hell of looking for a job while their world crumbles all around. I was unemployed from March 2016 all the way up until March 19 2018--just last week, almost 2 years exactly. I would submit at least 5-10 applications per day (the online ones take so damn long to complete!) and wait, and wait, and wait. All that rejection begins to compound the feelings of worthlessness and hopelessness but here's the recommendation--you have to keep pushing NO MATTER WHAT! Take those moments, or afternoons, or mornings, or whatever and cry, scream, curse, vent, or however you need to express the feelings you are feeling in that moment, do it. Express them, but don't become them. Instead of saying "I'm angry..." or "I'm sad..." reframe it as "I feel angry because..." or "I feel sad when...". Don't be defined by this moment in your life, be defined by how you keep going and pushing and applying and applying and applying. In the meantime, have you looked into any kind of public relation agency focus group or consumer evaluations in your area? That's how I manage to make it. They pay anywhere from $50, $75, even up to $150. Medical trials are also good ways to make money and improve yourself at the same time. I was in one for a migraine study over 11 weeks that paid $80 a week just to check in daily with a tablet they provided and $175 every 4th week to come in for physical exam. One time I tested condoms and lube for 12 weeks for $80 per week. Plasma donations can be done once every 4 days I believe and that pays $50-$75 each visit. IF YOU ARE MEDICALLY AND PHYSICALLY HEALTHY ENOUGH TO DO THESE THINGS!!! As far as the applications you've submitted, make your face known. Go in the location you really want one time each week and ask if there are any positions. Say thank you and leave. Be neatly dressed, polite, and receptive to the environment. Let me know how things are going.

Go to a Staffing Agency take your resume and fill out an application. I promise you'll get called for a job. That's what business owners are doing now going through staffing agencies so if you don't work out it would be on them!

Call the companies , remember that they receive hundreds of applicants everyday. You call the supervisor and tell them your name and let them know your app is in. Remember you want to stand out in their head when they are filtering through the apps. If you can go into the place and talk to the manager in person it would be good also. Do t wait for them to call you. After you apply wait two to three days and than make your presence known

Did you ask any one of the perspective employers, why they decided to go with another candidate? You do have the right to request a reasoning and ask if they can give you any pointers on what to put and how to present your resume. I agree with the one comment keep going back, this lets them know you are determined and willing to work. Also never burn bridges, if you know what I mean. I have always left my jobs on good terms well most of the time. Good Luck never give up!!!!

Flow up with letters about your applications. Or go in and ask who to follow up with. Starbucks is a great placecto apply great benefits for the youth even will pay for an online college degree. Resumes help and get in their face be persistent. It shows motivation.
