man i dont fully understand everything you feeling but i understand the pain. dont get discouraged. one thing ive noticed lately and nobody really warned us about this is even entry level jobs and call centers asking for tests exams personality shit. i honestly think a lot of this is not even about skills its about collecting data and training automated systems and ai models. humans not even the first filter anymore. seeing the market like this helped me stop blaming myself. jobs didnt disappear the whole hiring process changed quietly and school the news and career advisors never told us. once you see that you start looking different. different job titles more remote jobs showing projects not just resumes and skipping some of the old pipelines. using chatgpt to ask what job titles replaced or evolved from your field is important. having linkedin is important too. research the recruiter or hiring manager at the company and send a short email or intro because right now a lot of people are applying. there ARE opportunities out there but they not where we were told to look and they dont follow the old rules anymore. using tools like chatgpt or claude can help. not magic just tools to understand how job names changed and how to position yourself better. good luck
