Need employment, 4 yoe, looking for jobs for 1.8 years, urgently need a job pls, not receiving interview calls, not getting shortlisted

I've been applying for over 1.8 years. I've faced over 7000 rejections. I've never received calls from recruiters for the roles I've applied to. I really need a job, urgently need a job pls. It really feels like I'm begging. No one helps on LinkedIn, Fishbowl.

And I've been applying for jobs through various platforms like instahyre, simplyhired, cutshort, wellfound, indeed, naukri, Glassdoor. But I'm not getting any calls. I've only received a few calls from naukri. And from that too only a few were genuinely scheduled for an interview. And why do recruiters ghost and treat candidates like they are expendable.

Victoria's Secret, Upland, Nielsen, and Morgan Stanley cancelled the role. I cleared all the rounds with them and I was told that HR will reach out with an offer and was asked for a joining date as well. But after months of follow-up they cancelled the role. And then ghosted and no response.

Also, I've always received the same automated email, we have moved forward with another candidate. But the role remains open.. companies like Virtusa, Nasdaq, S&P 500, Flipkart, Amex, Wells Fargo, Victoria's Secret, Paychex, Myntra, Meesho, and many more have been doing the same thing, I believe these are ghost positions.

Initially I was applying to roles that aligned with my experience and skills. But now I'm applying to every role, even roles like customer support, driver, sales boy, etc. I am in urgent need of a job. And yes, I do customise the resume based on JD. And why is it that companies like Airtel, Amex, Paypal, Wells Fargo, Phonepe, etc ask for mandatory experience in banking, payments, or insurance but they shamelessly hire folks with non IT and MBA background jusy because they are from IIT. Why this double standard?

Why this double standard? They are from a chemical, mechanical background so why do you guys hire them. Whyyy?

I understand your situation. You think you might be losing everyday for the past 1.8 years but you only have to succeed once. You will get what you want. Just keep trying.

Hi capitaladministrator. Thanks for commenting. I appreciate your kind words. But this doesn't pay bills. The whole family is dependent on me. I've run out of savings so I've started redeeming mutual funds. I've sold my laptop and old phones too because I needed to keep things running at home. Dad's pension is like 3-4k I think that only covers electricity. So I desperately need a job.

What's your current location? I don't have a job to offer, but I can offer you contract gigs that will bring you some money while you search for a full-time role.

Hi BrownChalet! Thank you for commenting. I'm not in any of tier 1 or tier 2 cities. Also, I don't have a laptop right now, I'm trying to borrow it from a friend of my dad but it's taking some time. But if contract gigs are possible through mobile, please let me know. Also, if you can tell me more about these gigs I'd be grateful. I have exhausted my msg limit here so unable to send you a msg.
