part time jobs are generally harder to get than FT which sucks, depending on job of course. you have to be a perfect person, almost to the point of being an asshole. unless they specifically set a time period dont play on the part time thing. show up for a full time job interview. make it seem like this job will be supporting a family of 10 with 5 cars and college debt for all 8 of your children.

dress nice for the interview, research the company and have a response ready for why you want to work there. be enthusiastic.

persistence

call them on a regular basis, let them know you are still interested in the position. once a position opens up you will be in the front of their mind. it also shows you really want this job

don't be modest when telling them what separates you from the rest

i work at a grocery store :D

the turnover rate is pretty high at them, just get there at the right time. if you call once a week then you are bound to get lucky eventually
