I recommend the book 2 hour Job Search. Currently reading it and it is pretty interesting! Also try not to be discouraged. Right now is one of the worst job markets the country has ever seen

You could ask family and friends where they work and try getting a job with them as a temporary thing just to have some income and then continue to apply to your dream jobs on the side until you get it

^^ that and also apply directly to the sites and follow up in person if possible to beat AI screen outs. Be mindful that you may have to alter your resume each application to add their key buzz words that AI picks up. It’s a big game rn of companies not wanting to hire more people bc they want the workers they have to do it all. Basically less people to make a higher yield to the point even those working have to be mindful of the cuts. And don’t hesitate to call and follow up!

If you’re not getting interviews maybe try changing ur resume up, it could literally be the smallest of things that makes an employer turn their head. But if you are getting interviews then maybe just practice those skills, and always dress above the job you’re applying for. Before i was comfortable in interviews i lost a couple a jobs in interviews, but i landed my current job practically on the spot, they told me they’d for sure be giving me a call back, and they did that day.

In my experience it’s easier to get hired at places where people can recommend you if they’re already working there it’s definitely not ideal but just a suggestion
