Ah yes time for my daily humiliation ritual of applying to 50 jobs and getting ghosted by every single one of them

>The concept of working has become foreign to me i don't know what it feels like to wake up in the morning and go to work, how do i even get a job these days? i tried to go to a physical place with my resume and ask if i can work there and it's always "oh we don't do that here but you can apply online no problem here's our website" just to get ghosted from the same place yet again who told me to apply online in the first place

Do you have any advice for me or tell me how you got your first job

I have absolutely no connections i'm broke and live with my single mom in her house

I haven't had worked a stable job since 2017. Get your bags full, and you won't have too either very soon.

What type of job are you applying for? If it is a professional job then writing a real motivational letter + tailoring your CV for the exact needs they have is a must. If you aren't even getting an interview for a job you are qualified for then this is likely a key reason. Applying to 50 jobs a day just means you are making shitty applications. Unless you are applying for burger flipping positions then go nuts.

Make sure too keep your life in order, go for a daily morning walk, eat as healthy as you can, take your multivitamins and make sure to get enough vitamin D. If you can, do some cardio and/or weightlifting. Take care of basic grooming as well.

Taking up volunteering + some crummy job in between getting a career job can be a good idea. As long as you are still applying for the real stuff (Note don't tell them about you looking for other work..... ever!). Sometimes you meet somebody who knows somebody and if you made a good impression, bam you got a foot in the door! This stuff really happens more easily than you think.

Get out of the house and meet people and be of genuine service to them, without putting yourself in debt and befriend them. It’s not boomer tier. It’s personal advice since it has always happened to me. Shit just aligned when I chilled out and contributed even when sometimes it felt stupid. Someone would always just show up with work for me.

I have a basic resume with all my details then for each one i send out i do a quick edit and add a few things even a short letter for each one sometimes i even lie about my qualifications to get the job so i am pretty sure i don't send shitty applications i am convinced the job market simply sucks no one needs me i'll probably have to start something of own

If you’re ugly your chances of getting hired are cut drastically. You need to looksmaxx before doing anything else

These two. Get out of the house, talk to people, volunteer, just put yourself out there and be patient. Don’t be shy about saying you’re looking for an opportunity.
You can even start a little service business just as a way to meet people and see what they need or make connections.
Mow your neighbors’ lawns if you have nothing else you can get started with. If they say they can’t afford to pay someone, do it for $10 until you find better ways to make money.

It doesn't sound like you are too motivated. I get that, this stuff can get grating real fast. But seriously, try and make a great CV and learn how to write actual motivational letters. Make sure to tailor your CV for each job you apply to and that it is ATS compliant. This makes sure that the software filtering hundreds of applications actually is able to read your pdf file. When writing the motivational letter mention the specific things they are looking for and state your competencies in those tasks. I don't recommend ever lying as it may destroy your reputation as well as just being wrong, but you decide what type of person you want to be yourself.
If you are down to writing 1-3 applications a day then you are going in the right direction IMO.

Of course the job market in your country or city might be especially bad when you need a job the most but that just means you need a work a bit harder to stand out.

Good luck anon-kun!
