What can i do to land the job?

i am currently looking for new employment, the problem is that i am only 20 and have had quite a few jobs the past two years. my first job, which i started in high school, i worked at for two years, i then quit because i had plans to move away to college but when i decided not to go, i went back to work with the same employer. after a few more months there, i quit and went to work for someplace else. as it turns out, i absolutely hated this new job. it wasnt the actual work that i didnt enjoy, it was the fact that the general manager and i did not get along at all. he always made me feel uncomfortable and i felt like he singled me out, so after only three short months i quit and went to work for another new place. again, the manager there and i did not get along. ive neve had a dispute with my superior at any job, it was just more or less them talking to me in a way that made me feel stupid and like they were never satisfied. the fact is, that everyone had the same problems with these managers so it wasnt just me.after working six months at this new job, i went back to my very first job and worked there for eight months. i then got bored working there and quit to go work at a new place. i loved my job there! everyone was fun and nice and all of my managers were awesome but it was a little drive from where i lived and i got paid in peanuts. so, i guess what im asking is what do i tell an employer that i am hoping will hire me about my job history? i dont want them to think i am not dependable or cant hold a job for too long. also, the jobs ive held are as follows, knowing this might help you to better offer me advice, in the following order..1)pizza place 2) the gap 3)pizza hut 4)pizza place 5)applebees.as of current i am working at burger king. i am still in my first week there but as soon as i find a better job i am quitting there. i only took the position as a last resort. all of the jobs that i have held are jobs that i have quit, not been fired from. the job i am currently applying for is at a tanning salon, basically just working the front desk and cleaning beds. i know that none of these jobs sound tough or challenging but its even hard to find a job a company that isnt fortune 500. employers are becoming more and more picky. also, i am going to school to get my ociates degree in business management if that will help to help me. i would also like to know what i should tell them when they ask why i left a certain job.the reason i left two of those jobs was because the managers made me feel uncomfortable and not like an et to the team. i dont want to say anything negative though but i also dont want to lie! i am DESPERATE for a job right now as are most in todays economy so any and all advice and tips you could offer me would be GREATLY APPRECIATED! thank you!
