I need help regarding my career as a fresher. How can I turn my life around?

I'm 24 year old unemployed. I graduated in 2021 with BTech IT from tier 3 college. Initially I was preparing for UPSC exam but I gave up after few months and now for a year I have been learning Front End Development and have learnt HTML, CSS, JS & ReactJS but unable to find a job. I made a lot of mistakes in past and didn't learned from them. I'm not good at anything. I apply daily at different platforms ex: wellfound (formerly angellist), hirist, hirect, instahyre, cutshort, individual mass hiring companies off campus but from nowhere I'm getting interview call even if I get call I'm not able to clear interview.

Now the thing is my parents gave me ultimatun to get out of the house by April 1st they don't care what type of job I do. I don't understand what can I do now. I'm willing to do hardwork and learn from my mistakes I just need little guidance to get on a track. If anyone can guide me on how to get a job or any advice. I would really appreciate it. Thanks for reading.

Ask them to enroll you in gate coaching.

I would suggest go for internship and prepare a portfolio. Get some hands-on experience in front-end development.

You’re applying on these two platforms only? I nearly applied on 20+ platforms for continuously 2 months. Do some research on more platforms and send your resume on LinkedIn to any industry leader in your domain and ask for resume review and ask them specific questions and about referrals.

If you have learnt front end development. Create your own projects and be active on LinkedIn. Market is tight right now so grab whatever you can and whichever location. Build few for your portfolio. Show it on LinkedIn. Advertise yourself as much you can. You will end up somewhere for sure.
