I’ve applied to 12 places for jobs. One of them hired me, only because my uncle is friends with my boss and could ask him to hire me. None of the other ones contacted me, ever, even though they said that they would.

Don’t take it personally. Most minimum-wage jobs don’t care about your academic/athletic/musical/etc. merit.

How old are you? Most places won’t hire under 18 since you need working papers, and you can’t work past or before certain hours if you are under 18.
