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. :)

If you can't find a job, there are multiple things you can do to increase your odds of getting employed. These things include:
1. Go where jobs are. Relocate to areas where your odds of finding a job would increase.
2. Search newspapers or online for job offerings
3. Get more skills (formal or informal education)
4. Review your resume, make sure that it matches the job your applying for.
5. Look for a job in other fields
6. Try to find the cause of you not finding a job. Is it that I'm not qualified enough? Is it my resume? etc..
Tips:
1. Apply for multiple jobs to increase your odds
2. Prepare for any interview to prevent any awkwardness or not being able to answer simple questions.
3. Make sure that your resume matches the job your applying for.

I always say to people; There's no such thing as "Can't", but there's "I think I can't", and there's "Maybe this is harder than I expected", and sometimes, it even takes a little innovation and relocating, but where there is a will, there's a way.

A nice step in finding out "Why I cant get a job"? is to think about what have I been doing to get that job, or how have I already applied myself.

If you don't get a job when applying at open vacancies, try to some initiative applications. Choose a company or instituation you are really interested in. Then write a really good motivation letter where you state why you are interested in that company and what they would gain if they would employ you, be flexible, also ask for intern opportunities or part-time employment.

Here's a few options when you can't seem to land a job:
- try freelancing, it's a good way of keeping yourself busy, while earning some money in the meantime
- take an online course, more qualifications might help you get a job more easily
- blog, it helps to set your ideas in order
- any job is a job, especially if you need the money. Understand that everyone has to start off somewhere, and there's no shame in starting off small.
Hope this helps

If its your dream job then stay at it, fortune favours the bold take a few risks. But if its a job in general try broadening your skills or just go to a job agency to set you up.
