Why is getting a job so difficult!?
Post Body

Don't know where else to post something like this. I was just rejected from a job I was really hoping to get. I was laid off in April from my WFH job and Unemployment ran out at the end of November. I had some savings, but it will be gone after next month. I don't want to lose the house I've worked so hard to get, but I have no idea if I am going to be homeless in the next 6 weeks.

I'm also a Disabled Veteran and so I can't do anything but a desk job near me due to my disabilities. Which is not much, and not like they would hire me anyways. Before you ask, yes there are some things I can get from the VA, and I've already inquired about them, but they all have red tape attached to it AND you have to qualify.

In the past 9 months I have applied to over 1000 jobs. Most of which I am overqualified for. Over the course of this time I have reworked my resume at least half a dozen times, and played the game of "tailor your resume", yet no one will hire me.

I don't know what I've done wrong. I've worked since I was 15, joined the military rather than continue to flip burgers, went to college and earned a degree, have over 5 years of experience in at least two industries, and all I want is to work enough to where I don't have the worries I have now. Why is that so difficult to achieve?
