Don't ever give up trying to find a job, even if you're rejected from many. Overgeneralizing and thinking that "everyone will reject me" does more harm than help in the long run. Always actively search for a job, but do not neglect your personal needs as well. Remember, there should always be a balance between self-care and work.

Make your own job and start a business, most of the people at their 40s go through a midlife crisis because they don't really think they did anything important in their lives except graduating, getting a 9 to 5 job, marrying and having children and that's it! most of them shift their careers and start their own businesses after that .. so I would suggest that you save yourself and start living and working on your dreams rather than working on someone else's dreams. Do it from now .. :)

There are a lot of reasons that could cause you to not be able to get a job. It could be a matter of revising your resume. It could be a matter of how you present yourself at an interview. It could be that you are searching for the wrong kind of job. It could be that you do not have enough experience. It could even be because your only applying to jobs online. More often than not online job applications take less priority over in person applications. There are a variety of ways to improve your chances of getting a job. If you feel you have tried everything but still cannot get a job there are government help agencies. There are also job seekers that you can hire to help you land a job suited to your skills. It is a matter of patience, perseverance, not taking rejection personally, skills, looking for different angles, presentation, confidence, research and lastly holding hope that you will land that job eventually.

You have to keep trying your best. Sometimes we are dealt a bad hand, and sometimes two bad hands. But you can't give up! You have to tell yourself things will be okay, because guess what, they will be! Sometimes you just have to be a little more patient than you're used to.

Patience is the most important virtue that one needs to possess during this kind of situations. Have patience, and keep doing your work with full dedication. Check your mistakes and try not to repeat them. Find those areas where you fall short and then work on them. Always keep growing by setting bigger, but practical targets. Do not lose hope even if you fall short. You might fail in the beginning, but always remember that failures are the stepping stones to success. Even great people fail, Thomas Edison failed 1000 times before he finally invented a light bulb. But its not their failure that makes them great. They became great because they never gave up on their dreams and goals. So remember your dream every time you fail and keep moving towards it. :)
