So I picked up an application at a local sporting goods place that is hiring recently, filled it out (basic stuff: name, address, history, hours I would like to work, etc. It was just one page.), and don't know where to go from here. What else should I turn in with it? Any advice as to what I can do to help me get the job? Bear in mind that this is just a small store, and that I am in high school.

However, a lot of these jobs don't really care. They go through the applications, look at who they could pay the least without the employee being trouble, and call you in for an interview. Often a group interview, where they separate the wheat from the chaff. I applied for my first job using only a 1-page application. I know some friends got theirs by including a 1-page typed letter stating their position and why they would like the job, which could be a good way to stand out.
Yes. My current boss was quite happy to see that I was interested in the position moreso than my qualifications. He remembered me when I came for a follow-up and prompty assured me that "you would like it here." Always a good sign.
