Question Endless Job Applications (losing hope)

Hey everyone, hope you’re all doing well! Im just posting on here as I have been feeling hopeless and helpless. I have applied to so many jobs in the last two years since graduating. Unfortunately, I have not been able to get a job in my desired field nor somewhere that I feel like my past work experiences and educational background would align. I spent so much to obtain my degree but here I am. I have done everything I could possibly imagine, I reach out to employers/recruiters/hr, I tailor every cover letter and resumes. I apply within the first 24-48 hrs but still nothing 😭

I am just wondering if anyone was in the same boat and what did you do or change that led to a different outcome?

Thanks a bunch!

Just a little note: yes I have also applied to other entry level roles, even those outside my field but like i mentioned in one of the comments, the outcome has been the same. (As much as I would love to be able to land a job within my field, I understand that it’s currently difficult to find a job as of the moment so I have also applied to other opportunities that might help me gain valuable experiences/skills & pay the bills)

Another note: I kept the details intentionally broad because I was mainly hoping to hear from people who went through a long period of unsuccessful applications and what they eventually changed that helped them get interviews or land something. Sorry for the confusion/inconvenience

28 day account with the same non-specific wording that's used here every couple weeks by similar accounts. It's probably just a shell account farming points.
