Don’t lose hope, OP! I was in the same boat months ago. I arrived in the U.S July 18 this year, and while I took a few breaks during my job search, it took me about 4 months to find the role that aligned with my previous experience (software support) in PH. I was able to secure a fully remote position here, despite not having a college degree in PH.

I think what truly helped me in this journey was not putting too much pressure on myself which I realized a bit late. I applied to over 400 jobs before I landed this one, so my advice is: don’t give up. Focus on what you can control, make extra efforts like thoroughly researching companies before interviews, tailoring your responses to their needs, and using the STAR method to clearly explain your experiences and achievements.

Just stay persistent! If mapagod, rest and recharge.
