Volunteering is a great start and it would be something extra to put on your resumé. You could build up your skills by taking free online courses.

Go apply for educational program that will strengthen your job ability if your government does if they're free or don't cost much. And of course, keep looking for a job besides that educational program.

Best tip I ever got was to pretend that I was playing a game where I had to collect 100 rejection letters. I've heard of some people who have made it to 50, but they all eventually lost! Poor working losers! The idea of 'can't get' suggests that you can predict the future (a type of toxic thinking). If you can actually tell the future, then I am sure you would have no problem getting a job. I am unemployed right now, and rejections are piling up. But I don't know the future, so I cannot say 'I can't get a job'. Optimism is hard, but telling yourself you CAN'T get a job is cutting your own legs from under you. Talk to people, talk to employment offices, talk to groups online about training and education, talk to people here about feeling down.

A job gives us a grant for being independent, financial stability and a sense of personal satisfaction and sense of self worth . Understandable how not being in one could make question what to do . Many people have a set goal or something close to what they would like to work as / in , perhaps you have it too ? Or would want to know too ? Do you feel a self assessment, or some professional career counseling is an option here ? When we know what we are aiming for , it helps us to better prepare for it and give our best shot , perhaps an analysis of what's required for your desired job, in terms of skills and qualifications and then working on them for the time being may help reach your goal faster? I feel trying out internships, certificate courses and working on our skills both personal and professional ones is quite useful too and helps build a resume . In all cases, know that you're allowed to take your time through all of it , there's no rush, please feel free to go at your pace , you're seeking support and reaching out, and that's a great first step already. Rooting for you

Difficulty finding employment can cause all types of considerations. Its important to know what your primary goals and skills are so you can narrow down what job market you want to focus on and what skills you have to offer.

first of all don't get depressed or something be hopeful and hope for the best .... and after that try and try again harder and re-evaluate yourself as what's the problem that's keeping you from getting a job as simple as that there's no shortcut to it ... want a decent and a good job just try ... success comes to those who try ... keep on trying ...!!
