Never give up, go in person, volunteer your services. Another is seek out an employment agency, most hire from temp to perm.

A job search is no easy task. It can be stressful and daunting. Sometimes you need to take a break from looking just to restart and refresh your mind/life. A fresh perspective will enable you to see clearly and go after exactly what you want. You also can hire services online to review your resume and make sure it's getting you where you want to be. Above all, be patient. The right job will come at the right time. In the meantime practice relaxation techniques and find ways to relax and enjoy life. Everything is meant to be and will come to you in time.

I know how you feel. When I was going from one job to another I applied to many places and I was very nervous about whether I'd get the job or not. I know that you feel all emotions about this job and you're hoping to get it, but I'm sure you will get it. If not, it's going to be okay because we all have those moments when you don't get it. But it's good on you that you're putting out applications and wanting to put yourself higher up within your career or what have you. Don't worry too much, you'll have good days and bad days and you'll have your successes and your losses.

Take good care of yourself before you go out applying for a job. Build up your confidence and feel good about what you're applying for. If it's hard to get a job in the field that you're in - find motivation to grab a higher education and dominate the world of work that you're applying for!
No one can tell you that you're never going to get a job, because getting a job is always going to be hard. But it takes motivation, persistence and a lot of merit to go in there for an interview and feel confident. There are guides online to ace an interview, but from personal experience, I'd say that being yourself and showing what you're really good at works the best.

Know you aren't alone for a start. Don't have your sights set on something unobtainable. Life will march on, sad though that is, and it really is better to do something, anything if it means you worked, showed up, made some friends...because in years to come you will need the emotional support as well as just money or accolades.
Obviously we all dream of doing something more than just waiting tables but there's no shame in it. Focus on your relationships more than how you look, it will pay in the long run rather than the short run.
If you are young use your opportunities as much as you can. Free passes and grants run out and leave you in the cold. Don't assume 30 is really that far away!! Time speeds up and you slow down.
If there's an apprenticeship or scheme like that go for it. It's low pay for a year or two but then you are free to progress and honestly looking back 2 or 3 years working in a shop and progressing through management positions would have been far FAR superior to mucking around at University. It's a complete waste of time where I live now in the UK anyway, and you will have a car, home, be a grown up while others are still walking round scratching their head about why nothing is working out and they are snowed under with debt.

Don't give up I would find one if not today tommorrow if not tommorrow the day after that. But not giving up is important and always be optimistic. If you think negatively about it you would probably not find one. So keep your head up straight live your life and do not stress about it the job will be found sooner or later and post your CV online that may help too. Go job hunting! Be open minded you could always work as a waiter or a hairdresser.. Ever thought of babysitting? That could do it.. If you are willing why not?

There are a lot of options when you can't get a job.
First of all, you can try to check if there is something you can improve on your resume and application letter - those are quite important.
Then, try to make some networking - there are free events where you can even network with companies and some HR people, too.
Upload your resume on Linkedin, and other social networks alike.
Take some courses (there may be some free or even courses they pay you to attend to - in my country, we have a lot of those; some online courses can add up stuff to your resume, too).
Focus on what you want to become, and do, so you can achieve it. Make a plan of what you need to go to that career and position. If you have to take a course, try to do it. In case you need experience, try to volunteer or be an intern.

Can't get a job? or can't find a job you want? It's important to distinguish between the two. Are you comfortable with working something temporary until you find a job you love and want to stay in the long term? On the other hand, if you've applied for at least five jobs with no callbacks, it's always recommended to follow-up with the employer or interview staff to see why it is you were not selected for the position. It could be something as simple as you need more experience, a professional course upgrade or that they were limited to the number of people whom they could hire.

Theres online courses that you can take to qualify yourself better and up your skills or sharpen already existing skillset. LinkedIn is great for networking. Going for talks, seminars and workshops also helps meet new people and you never know where your next job opportunity may come from. Keep your ear to the ground, you'll find something.
