I've applied for probably like 200 jobs in the past couple of months and haven't heard back from a single one. Not one interview. At what point do I just accept that I'm unemployable and give up? I can't keep fucking doing this.
i have no idea what i'm doing

may i ask what kinda jobs youre applying to?? im a graphic designer/kitchen designer and im having the same issue, despite my resume and portfolios being pretty good. i have a job at a hardware store in the meantime just to keep a pay flow
I've basically been applying for anything I'm capable of doing, so retail, admin, marketing, design, warehouse work, literally whatever I find that's accessible to me. That's part of why this is so frustrating, I should be able to get a job, even if it isn't design, and yet I'm hearing nothing from anyone
and I don't mean to imply that retail or anything is easier to get a job in or anything like that - they're different sets of skills - but I have plenty of experience in all these areas. Design is just particularly competitive where I live so I'm not that surprised I'm struggling with that
