I have applied for soooo many jobs recently as I really need one to help me fund myself through college. However I hardly ever get a response back. It's really getting me down and I am on the point of giving up. Any advice which may help improve my chances?

Where are you applying?
If you dont have any experience, get your arse down to a supermarket the always have loads of jobs going.
What type of job you after??
Bopz
my problem is that i don't have enough experience to get the good jobs, but people apparently think i'm overqualified to do the shit jobs. so i get nothing. which is very annoying.
just keep trying. a trick you can try is to ring them a week or so after you hand your application in to 'see how they're getting on'. this makes you seem interested, and you never know, might sway your chances. and if you're lucky, you might get a manager who is too embarrassed to tell you they don't want you after you've made the effort to ring up, and will instead offer you an interview. and the interview is half the battle. once you get to meet them, rather than just being words on paper, you can wow them with your brilliant working manner and witty temperament. or something
good luck!
keep at it lil miss (and kaff) you will get something soon
