I have been trying to find a job for the past 2 years and I have not been able to go further than a round two interview of four. I have applied to multiple jon openings through LinkedIn, Indeed, SimplyHired, and other smaller platforms that I can’t remember because I’ve been through so many. I have tried directly contacting companies asking if they are interested in freelance work or even an opportunity to have an informative interview and nothing. I have tried temp agencies and it’s either truly crappy pay work or they are just not interested in me. I have updated my resume numerous times, I have gone to job fairs and talk with companies and nothing. I have tried to reach out to what little network that I have and they have really not been helpful. Hell, I’ve even tried applying to Walmart and I still got no response and it’s been like 2 months. I just don’t know what to do anymore. If anyone can kindly give me some advice, that would be greatly apperciated.

    Trying learning a new skill and getting some freelance jobs on Upwork, TaskRabbit, Fiver, Freelancer, and those sorts of platforms. You could try something like Uber or Doordash, it may not be something you really want to do, but you can make some money while searching for a job that you do like.

    Also Id get a friend to review your resume. Also try running it through a handful of AI tools to see if it suggests anything helpful. Or maybe pay someone to help you with your resume. Id probably exaggerate the skills on your resume by like 10% without saying anything completely false.

    Get your LinkedIn profile polished up. Id probably try to apply to about 10 jobs per day.

    I think there are some AI tools you can use to help you fill out job applications faster.
