For context, I've applied to around 20 part-time jobs, none of which require experience. and have only received 1 interview, which went well, but I was still rejected. The main reasons I can think of are experience, shift times, and location ( some are a 40 minutes walk away)
For experience, I’ve worked numerous volunteer jobs and still volunteer at the local athletics coach.*
was the FD of the school's Young Enterpise Team.*
had 3 placements at 3 different firms for unpaid work experience.*
My educational background is also pretty decent, (so I don't think this is the issue)
With most grades between a 7-9 at GCSE, the lowest grade I received was a 5.*
A*A*A projected for A levels*
For shift times, I can do everything apart from 7-9 p.m. on Monday and Thursday, as well as 10-12 a.m. on Saturday (I was rejected from Morrison explicitly due to my shift requirements not meeting what they needed).*
Interviews for part-time jobs are currently 0 for 1, so this could be an issue, but then I went 5/5 for the apprenticeships I applied for as well as being successful for the PWC Flying Start degree.*
So my main question is: why do I keep getting rejected from “easy to get” part-time jobs at Sainsbury’s, Morrisons, Asda, Subway, Iceland, Domino's, etc.

Apart from the reasons I listed above, I can only think of situational assessments, but I compared my answers to those who received the job and to those of friends and family as well, and the answers are identical. So I’m just confused.*
