I can't do it anymore.
I am a protected veteran (and I put it on the application every time they ask). I have top secret clearance. My resume has been reviewed and edited by at least 10 different people, including a representative from the department of labor. I have numbers on there. I edit it each time by hand when i apply. I write out a cover letter with the most sincerity I can muster. I have a bachelor's degree. I have applied to damn near a thousand jobs all over the US in remote, hybrid, and on-site. I don't even like my field but there's nothing I can do.
I have applied for positions I know I'm overqualified for and I have gotten 1 interview and it was from a temp agency for a part time gig that paid next to nothing.
I don't want to live like this.
I can't afford to live.
I am too close to just giving up.
What do I even do at this point?
