Based. Anon unfortunately most job postings are put up as a formality and the job is given to family or friends. You have to apply until you find the job that isn’t

It takes time and as the other poster said, you simply have to keep going with more.

In 2008 I got laid off on my job I interned at since graduating 4 years earlier...I literally thought I'd be there til I retired(design/ind eng).
I said 'no problem and made a stellar resume and applied,....and applied, and applied...and applied...literally over 500 companies and I DIDN'T EVEN GET A CALL BACK FROM FUCKING ONE OF THEM. The market was just too shitty I guess and I was a white male (literally my last name is Black). One day I looked on craigslist and I say a job ad needing and engineer to design large and oversized/handicapped compliant toilets. I didnt even send them my resume, I simply sent them an email saying 'I could do this job and i'll start Monday with my resume in hand' and the guy emailed me back and I've been there for ten years last month. Best fucking job I could ask for...good work travel (its like a paid vacation), incredible bonus and pay and no shortage of business.

Keep going!

Applied at one job that I happened to be interested in. Was hired on the spot.
Why do so many people have a hard time finding employment?

Did you write a good cover letter,
If you write a good cover letter that hypes you up employers won't even bother reading the CV

Maybe do security for now (though it is embarassing as shit since you basically get paid for standing lile a brick).

Maybe also consider a TESOL cert to teach english to chinese kids from home. With a yr or 2 experience, they get options to some great pay. I've seen it as high as in the 40s an hr..

Think about that... work from home, part time (so work/life balance), AND decent pay.

Also, seems legit. I've gone to quora and reddit along with some random articles. They all say it's a legit thing. I bought a cert course for 200ish and will be doing 1 course a day (so 20 days to finish). They let you do up to 3 a day (so 6.6 days to finish the 120 hr course).
The program I bought also prep you and help you find employment.

Welp, hopefully I can find work from home stuff so I don't have to do thi shit security job anymore and can enjoy life.

Why you can't just exchange some emails with HR or someone else? Literally go to their website and check what they are doing, tell them like "hey guys I've been working in similar field and would like to exchange experience, mind to meet for coffee and talk?". Make it personal, send some pictures or videos showing your capabilities.
These managers receive 666+ CV's every day which are all the same so they pick random and call them. If your CV will have red background color and unicorns or dolphins with rainbow it will stick out so they will spend few minutes reading it, just like you do when you see funny memes in your feed
