I am struggling to find a job, and I have tried everything I can. I took person-to-person training with a job counselor for 4 months to help me write my resume and cover letter, but it didn't help. I reached out to all the people I know and to others on LinkedIn I don't know, some said they are sorry I struggle and they would try to help, but they didn't. Others didn't bother with even replying. I have submitted probably more than 1000+ applications in the last 3+ years, but no one wants to hire me. I don't even get interviews. I only got one technical interview, and they didn't give me an offer. I don't know what the problem is. No one is telling me, even when I ask for an honest feedback. I already have a 2 years gap in my resume, which is bad enough, but now I have been unemployed for the last 3 months, and I am creating more gap. I even contacted some employers telling them that I am willing to work for them for free just to gain experience as I have been working in the academia and have no industry experience, but no one is interested. What else can I do?
