About 40-50% of the stores are owned and operated by the owner of Aberdeen, so even if the particular store you dropped off your resume at isn't hiring, they might forward it to one that is. I applied to Giordano (did so via fax), but got interviewed and hired at Impulse Sports because they had an opening and I had a background w/ sports teams in highschool.

Forever 21 is always hiring during the summer as well, I worked there for a few months. Not a bad place to work if you intend on staying for a while (they do periodic reviews and like to promote within).

Leapforce About Leapforce
Leapforce is an online job I worked ~1ish years for. You work as a search engine evaluator. It's one of the few legit online jobs that I know of, no fees, credit cards or any kind of payment (do a google search to learn more about it). It's not by referral or anything so don't worry about pyramid schemes, only catch to it is that you have to study this 100+ page document and pass 2 tests before they hire you. The studying and testing take probably a good 20-40+ hours.
This job was a life saver for me when my part time retail jobs weren't giving me the hours I wanted. You can work at ANY time (given there are tasks to do), and you simply clock the time you work (by the minute). Pay is also very good (I can't disclose because of a NDA, but let's just say they pay by the minute, and it works out to be > minimum hourly wage). I have a friend who milked the crap out of this job and was able to save up a lot.

Only bad thing about it is that it doesn't really help in terms of resume and such. Because of the NDA you can't disclose much about the job.
It is completely legit and if you have any questions, feel free to PM me about it.
Edit: Here's some good information regarding the job I came across a work at home opp with Leapforce. Has anyone heard of them and are they legit? - Yahoo! Answers
how good does your cantonese/mandarin have to be? My cantonese is sufficient enough for me to be able to communicate with it, but I don't know if I'd be able to rely on it for a job.. As a CBC, I'm familiar with most vocab, but there are certain slang/expressions I just won't be able to catch up on..
