Job hunting while you are unemployed can be easier because you have the time to look for jobs and you can actually attend the interviews without guilt or begging your boss that you need time away in short notice, ie. next week but you can't say why.

You also have time to volunteer in the field that you want to get into. You can sign up to volunteer places. You have time to go to a non profit organization and ask to meet with them and ask them about volunteering.
You can network easier and to know people because you are available to talk to them.

You also have time to attend these job fairs, workshops, non profit organization and meet with your job coach to ask questions. You can create your own business cards and hand them out to people.

You also have time to research jobs and companies out there and learn what skills are in demand and how you can achieve these skills. You have time think about what steps you should take.

You have time to come up with profession answers when practice answering job interview questions and talk to job coaches and ask for their opinions. You have to think up an elevator pitch and practice them to be job interview ready so it comes natural and confident. Ask people for help.

Unfortunately, the downside is little or no money. But through non profit organizations, they can provide some help like getting interview clothes.

Keep trying. Hang in there.
