Ok, first can I know what kind of job you're looking at? Because for positions like, say, a college graduate looking to work as a freelance editor, the tips will be different than getting a job at subway.
But in general, always, always give them a follow up call asking about your application and saying you're really interested in working there, this will make you stand out and give them a heads up about you. Don't just apply and be like "oh well." Also, when I've applied to places like where you walk in and fill out the application, I usually ask to speak with the manager/boss and introduce myself, tell them I'm really interested in working there. I have found that helps make me stand out.

As an employer, I sometimes find it helpful if a person gives me a follow-up call to check on their application. Simply something like, "Hi, this is John Doe. I recently applied for (insert position here) and was wondering about the status of my application."
Do not get too forceful, but a simple act to show that you are really interested would help!
