A lot depends on what you're looking for.
Where did you apply - if on LinkedIn, then you're likely wasting time...

Have you considerd becoming a plumber, hvac guy? Or possibly even a local bus driver? Just throwing out some options!

What type of jobs have you applied for?
Seems like everyone complains about the job market, while businesses are all running short handed.

Have you tried walking in to a business and going up to the front desk and asking to speak to the hiring manager? - some boomer

Office work.

Depends on your industry and what credentials and skills you have.

The hiring process at large companies is currently managed by incompetent HR women. The process takes months and follows no logical order. If you have applied to a job posting, they may not even be looking to hire a candidate.

If it is that generic, you are going to have a hard time.

What sorts of skills, qualifications, education and experience do you bring?

Hopefully, you answer interview questions better than you do here.
I mean, what does that even mean in 2026?
If this was 1946 it might make more sense.

Blindly applying isn’t gonna get you a job. You need to know someone, go look for people you know whose companies are hiring.

Pretty much every job involves office work.

It depends on who you are. 9 in 10 new American jobs created since covid have gone to people born outside the US. According to the bureau of labor statistics
