I've been unemployed for a year and a half at this point and I don't know what to do.
I send out so many applications and 90% of them are ignored. When I finally get interviews nothing comes of them, even when I feel like I nailed it.
Everyone gives me advice like following up with a phone call if you don't get a call back after some time's passed but I have never gotten anything out of that.
I was lucky enough to get a used car from a family member for free and I thought that'd make getting a job easier, but all it's gotten me is the ability to apply to and get ghosted/rejected by even more places.
I can't even get an interview with walmart, the local grocery store chain, any place at the local mall, or even mcdonalds. All of this as the employment gap on my resume continues to grow, making it even harder to not be instantly dismissed.
I know the current job market is brutal but is sending out hundreds of applications until I get lucky the only way out of this hole? Thank god im lucky enough to be living rent free with my parents because otherwise I'd be living on the street
Sorry for rambling but I'm really tired of being a leech and just want to be a functioning part of society and be able to afford to go back to school to finish my degree. Why is getting even a basic job so fucking hard right now? Is there anything I can do beyond continuing rolling the dice hundreds of times?

You can try volunteering and get some networking + a little something to add to a resume/interview

How many applications have you sent total? How many do you send per week on average?

How much prep do you do before going in for interviews? Do you practise for them?

Have you worked a job before, and for a while?

How many applications did you send out? Do you have any skills required for a job?

I graduated from the top uni in my country in CS and I had to send over 100 applications before I got a job. And I'm in the best possible position to find work. The market is fucked.

>Hundreds of applications
You can easily send out 10 applications per day. In your 1.5 years that should be 5475 applications. Stop whining and start grinding. 1 hour for each personalized application doing this for 10 hours every day. There's jobs where you work 12 hours so it's not even that hard. Apply even if you don't fit the job description because those are mostly made by retarded HR Karens.
