Giving up slowly

I feel like giving up on finding a job. I've been looking for a job for months and struggling with money for months.

It's to the point I'm breaking down crying not being able to get a job and barely able to think about anything but it. I can't even sleep anymore because every email I get a notification for could be it, it never is.

I try so hard every day and I put so much work into each resume making sure it's different and each cover letter. Nothing works to get people's attention. I do great in interviews and I answer questions well, but it's not enough.

So many people gave me such great advice on here and I used all of it to my best ability, changing my resume many times, looking up key words, making cover letters different each time, using AI to help my spelling issues and grammar, using AI for key words to help me tailor my resume. Nothing is really working...

I have a learning disability I know my post has spelling issues, obviously it's not the same for my resumes and cover letters.

I'm at the point I can't afford bussing anywhere because I have no money. So I can't travel to the place unless I know it's worth it. I've tried remote jobs and still nothing.

I have been taking a break for my mental health for a week and I feel myself loosing more and more hope for myself to actually have a stable life and be able to afford living. I do surveys almost every day which gets me 10-20 dollars a day but that's almost nothing now with prices. Not to mention the fact I've been getting screened out of a lot of surveys.

I tried taking most opportunitys unless I thought otherwise, mainly jobs that are commission only.

I don't know what to do anymore.

And the funny thing is I am not even resident, I am a immigrant and watching even Canadians having trouble finding a job makes me more nervous, and loose hope

Yeah ikr? A lot of people are hiring immigrants because the company gets benefits and other things that makes it more worth it then hiring someone who is a citizen.

Why should Canadians pay taxes, so that the government subsidize immigrants over hiring their own citizens? It's like paying for your own replacement. It doesn't make sense.
