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.

I suggest looking into getting your TEFL certification and teaching English/living in another country. It’s a lot more accessible of an option than most would assume. Especially with your credentials.
Here’s a cat Sankara 2.0 on tiktok who gives great advice and resources: https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZP85suKTM/
Living aboard is a very enriching experience. While things are shi here, you can work, make new friends, learn a new language and build technical skills in your spare time from work.
However if leaving the country is simply not an option, look into state/government jobs. This current administration shook this sector up badly but generally there’s opportunity with less competition: https://www.governmentjobs.com/jobs
