I literally applied to 80 jobs across a variety of different job types, some ranging from entry level min wage shit to actual jobs that require a degree. I have an in demand degree and experience. After two months of applying I received two job offers, with one being from Chik-Fil-A.

That's what's getting you rejected. Managers want to know who they're hiring, and the only way to do that is to physically interact with them. You're not getting hired because you're being lazy.

Eh, better than 0 dollars.
By my math, I can survive on $30 a day.

It's either this or starving.
At this point, there's literally nothing left to do.

I've tried everything.
I've tried starting a business, I've tried finding a job, I've tried to apply to minimum wage places, I've tried to apply to skilled jobs, I've tried it all.
Some nigger is going to say "just keep applying!!!" but, at a certain point, you literally cannot be bothered to lift a finger.

I'd rather spray-paint slurs on government property (in Minecraft.)
I used to be autistic about avoiding "hate speech" on here because I thought it'd somehow be tied back to me if I were to find a job, but at this point, I literally don't care and it doesn't matter.

Yeah, any place with an "employment day" will have a line of a thousand jeets trampling each other just to sniff the HR manager's chair seat.

Honestly, I would absolutely scam jeets, I've thought of building coffin homes for them, and renting them out at like $600 a month, but I don't know. I don't want anything to do with jeets - scam them, worship them, befriend them, fight them, nothing.

businesses always say they are struggling to hire even if they have no jobs available

reasons:
1) it gets media attention which might lead to government subsidies
2) it's seeking sympathy from employees who are overworked in their own jobs. it's not the fault of the employer it's just that nobody wants to work anymore
3) it gives them an excuse to lobby for increased immigration and/or offshoring

Honestly, most people just don't know how to apply for jobs. It's really not hard. You know those requirements they list on the job posting? You edit your resume to match those requirements as closely as possible without lying too much. You use the same terminology, you exclude irrelevant skills/experience while playing up potentially relevant ones, you make it seem like you're the perfect candidate who matches the job description almost exactly. If you do that the automated systems that are currently trashing your applications before any human ever sees them will stop doing that. It takes like 3 minutes per application. You do that and your response rate will increase like 1000%. If you don't do that you might as well throw your applications in the trash. It's literally that simple.

Don't shops have 'hiring' signs outside in your countries? Like retail shop, bakeries, bars etc? As a matter of fact, some places are hiring but don't put up a sign cause they're lazy/busy, since they tend to have a big turnover. I found jobs that way in the past.
Though calling and emailing seems better for office work.

I've had only 1 decent paying job, and I got it in the most convoluted way possible, in a way that I essentially charmed the CEO so hard I made a job out of nothing.
Step 1: message a start up company for years on LinkedIn
step 2: network with like-minded people at conferences, almost acting like I'm a business owner but I'm just working at a gym or store or some shit.
Step 3: get a research internship at a uni that pays nothing
Step 4: reach out to the same company I reached out to before telling them my research, they happen to be doing the same method.
>Step 5:Get unpaid assignments from them, nothing too big, maybe an hour of work
>Step 6: Ghosted for 6 months, reach out again and finally the interview process starts, I'm hired on a salary as a remote sales manager, they lie about commission but holy shit I can afford an apartment and food, they paid for me to travel around the U.S. and Europe.
I barely worked in that job compared to others, abd I was finally fired when the CEO left after 2+ years.

Falling from it was harsh, but now I'm in a part time job collecting mindset and making almost as much, putting in double the work.
I want to get a job like that again, I've been trying, you'd think that experience would have triple boosted my resume but 2 years out, fuck no.
