Do online job applications work?

[chihigh91]

I'm looking for a part-time anywhere until I transfer to a new school in nine months. I've probably filled out 50+ since the New Year started and have not gotten any callbacks.  Do I just suck or what?  Should I try calling in a few days after my application and asking them if they received my app?  My homie said to keep calling them so they get familiar with your name.
What do you guys think?!

I gave up on filling applications online. I feel like they don't check it as often as if you would go and personally drop off the application at the place, and directly to the manager's hands. Calling seems like your best way to verify that they've received your application and be persistent that they got your application. It doesn't hurt to show how badly you're interested, unless if they just find you straight annoying.
