How to continue trying to find a job when you have lost hope?

I really hate my job and don't want to work there anymore but can't quit without finding another one because I got bills to pay. The problem is I applied for 25 jobs in the past 2 weeks and got rejected 25 times. Not after being interviewed but being denied to be interviewed. I feel really hopeless about my current situation.

    Not quitting your current job is smart because finding a new job is always easier while you are employed.

    Getting your resume professionally tweaked was also smart.

    Here are a couple of suggestions you may not have yet considered:

    1. Hire a head-hunter.

    Many firms that perform a job search for you do not require up-front payment and get re - imburst from a percentage of your paycheck after finding you your dream job.

    2. Update your skills

    Working a dead-end job can be a real buzzkill, but what’s worse is moving from one dead-end job into another!

    Instead, look into getting training you need to move into a job that you will enjoy and find fulfilling. There’s vocational training, community college, and online schools that offer certificates, degrees, nano-degress, etc.

    3. Start your own business

    Starting your own business can be risky as well as expensive, but if you have a solid plan and sufficient drive being your own boss might be exactly what the doctor ordered.

    People make fortunes starting their own business in roofing, flooring, painting, sheet-rock work, installing doors/windows, french drains, restaurants, etc.

    If you truly want to DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT now is the time to put your imagination to use!

    Good luck!

    well, additional questions are to be asked in real life, in your area.

    you may have to either stick to your job - or move to another place...

    and/ or strive to improve your qualifications in order to improve your chances to get a better , decent job.
