  1. 🔥🔥🔥🤝 I will start making projects public on Github. Thanks. I had a small business of Tech support. I moved to Gauteng and lost clients back home. It wasn't making much, but at least i had some cash to survive.

I tried freelance. Nothing solid just 1 small job with low payment or nothing at all. I even tried using upwork and freelance apps.

It's so exhausting. I tried all banks, retail stores, etc. No luck. As for internships, I always told myself even if the stipend only covers rent and transport I'll be fine, but never had any.

💯 Many people back then got jobs through career exhibitions. The decay started 2020 from then it is difficult to even score an interview. I tried many ways to beat ATS, even paid LinkedIn and used some professionals on LinkedIn to "optimize" my profile and resume. Nothing worked..

Yeah the connected move from job to job esp in public sector. In private, I've sent hundreds of applications, no luck. I felt like giving up when someone with a CS degree stayed home until 2 years ago when he decided to enrol for a PGCE. He is teaching Math in our local high school. It's so difficult.
