Its going terrible. I hate my life and hate waking up. All i hear from my mom is just get a job. I am 25 with an associates degree, 3 months work history may-jun '24. We recently moved from WA so i quit my old one that i loved. Still dont have any friends here. :/

1 interview for food runner at restaurant. Gave me a 30 page packet and told me they would call in 5 weeks for trial run. Ghosted.
10 target applications. No response.
3 costco applications. Yeah the any position option. No response.
30 preschool applications. 5 interviews. Multiple rejections and a few ghosted.
10 hotel applications. All rejections.
1 Great Wolf Lodge application. Rejected since they get tons of applicants.
3 Chick-fil-A applications foh. 1 rejection. 2 ghosted.
1 new restaurant. Rejected because they wanted more experience for dishwasher.
2 for safeway. Ghosted twice and 1 said they don't train for cashier during interview.
Probably more. Too lazy to scroll my email for auto-rejects rn.
3 day preschool assistant-infant room. I quit. I've never worked with infants before or babysat. Interview on Monday, working interview Tuesday, Wed-Friday working. One of the kids in room was developmently delayed. Extremely understaffed. (3 months exp as a float as a preschool in 4 yr old room)
My brother has a 4 yr engineering degree and he's only had 1 in person interview and 3 online. Zero follow up from people. 200 applications sent. He can't get experience if no one will hire. Wth.
Job hunting sucks. I'm going to try the hospitals in January. Might have okay luck since I'm currently volunteering there. Idk what else to do at this point.
same here in my 20s sending apps into a black hole try using hospital volunteer contacts for referrals or internal postings everything is so dead right now

Well at least ur parents let u live at home. Hopefully for free.
Uber, Doordash, and so on are about your best bet for the moment. Your mom job hunting too? She really oughta try it, see how easy it is to get work when you get nothing but ghost crud.
I mean, ghost job epidemic is bad. Plan on 750 applications minimum just for a job offer. Certain folks here tracked and found it can take 2000+ applications before get a job offer.
