if you can't find a job and everyone says its your fault but if it was your fault you could fix it?

i have applied to 1800+ places so volume is not the problem. i have walked in, called, filled out physical applications and online applications and tried temp agencies so the medium is not the problem. i have tried countless approaches from being overly friendly to sharing my hardships to bragging about myself to downselling myself so the approach is not the problem. i have analyzed every step of the process and tried to compensate for it from the applicant tracker systems to the recruiters to the hiring managers to the supervisors, and everywhere i look people keep blaming me like i'm doing something wrong when there is not even one definite option they give me that i can do right. i don't believe like those socialists do, that i supposedly have the "right to work" but i do believe that i have the right to the opportunity to work and i also think that i have not had a single opportunity extended to me. what can i do, if anything, to not die on the street because of things that were out of my control?

    have you tried the military? that could be considered for a job / career. the military has hundreds of jobs that aren't combat related, and many of them can transfer to the civilian world when your service is done.

    your first enlistment active duty contract is four to six years. then you can re enlist, use the GI Bill to help pay for higher education if needed, or find a job within your field of work in the military.

    the military has paid training, and will help you earn experience in your service. you could earn leadership experience if you advance in the ranks

    plenty of companies prefer experience over education, as you'd be ready to jump in for the most part. that's why a lot of companies prefer education / experience. it's hard to find a job with only education.

    see a recruiter if you qualify. some branches you can enlist up until 38.

    Just keep trying, but if it's something you are doing then make some positive changes, dress nicer, have good references, maybe ask people you know.

    Like you say in the question, if the problem is something you are doing you can fix it, you will figure it out.

    Honestly i think it's just the economy but if you really think it's you, ask an honest friend to critique your resume and maybe do a rehearsal interview.

    Dont be so hard on yourself.
