When applying for a job, it is best to call them back within a week or so. It shows an eagerness and responsibility that you are willing to take the job seriously. It will also help you stand out amongst the other faceless applicants.

Continue trying to find a job. You can also try to secure odd jobs in your neighbourhood and surrounding areas. There are many ways to earn money. Garage sales, mowing lawns, babysitting, part time employment, contests, any special skills you have that you could put to use is helpful.

Be creative, brainstorm, there are many ways to get money, you just haven't tapped into them yet.

Well, money issues are very common throughout life.
You need to understand how to hand your finances.
Check out this site for some more advice and tips.

What you could do is to offer doing chores around the house for some money. Or even in your neighbourhood. Offer to mow lawns, wash cars etc.

About you applying for jobs, it may be your application is not strong enough, in which case, visit the following websites for some tips on how to present the best image on your application forms and CVs:

From experiences of my own I had learned to save change from things I had bought. I know the situation you are in probably won't help to buy things. Yet, for the future change will always add up quickly.  

As for the job, the best thing I can advise you is to make a really good resume and cover letter. Making sure to stay accurate on the information you bring.

Interviews are a really huge part on getting oneself a job. You need to be able to look presentable and have set up a portfolio for yourself. What I mean by a portfolio is listing all of your achievements and goals on to a binder.

Now, if you have already gone on to doing all of this you can do basic things. A couple of examples would be:
*Shoveling snow for 2-5 dollars

*Having a garage sale of all the items you don't want. Make sure to cut the price in half to what you bought it.

*Babysitting can do a lot for oneself in the sense of money.  

*Make something creative like walking people's dogs for cash.

With that all being said and done I would also suggest the thing you done to save yourself that 12dollars.
