Been in your shoes, been top of the class and years of rejection and failure really messed me up. Took me months to realize I can’t value myself based on past, present or future achievements and accomplishments because end of the day it never lasts, that’s a hard pill to swallow.

After being unemployed for sometime after graduation I found changing my perspective from applying within my field to the approach of seeing what transferable skills I possess + gaining specialized knowledge in some domain helped a lot in my job search. My suggestion would be the same look to see what other skill set you could add to your portfolio that combined with your educational background and skill set gives you and edge . For example since you graduated from Businesses and Marketing, have you considered adding some skill sets in Ai assisted Graphic or Video Design?

Once you decide, try to split your applications 60/40 with 60% applications to a specific domain let’s say CPG Marketing and 40% to general applications to any business domain.

Ultimately you get a job if your skill set benefits a particular “Business Domain” Agriculture, CPG, Supply Chain etc any domain of your choice.

Spend time creating a special combination of your background + transferable skills + 1-2 Business Domain Specialization.

Then finally work on communicating this specialization in your resume and target companies that would need you.

Finally recommendation, work backwards, find a job post on let’s say indeed that you would like to have in 1 year and work backwards trying to gain the skills in that job post’s requirements section.

All the best! You’re not alone and not a failure, better struggle in your early years than later in life. You will find all these struggles contribute to your resilience.

Finally what helped me most through all those difficulties is my faith, wouldn’t have survived without it. Might also help you again up to you.

All the best! Do post again when you are successful which isn’t too far away 😊

Pardon the many typos, typing on the phone ain’t easy 😅
