Stick with it and don't despair. The job search space is totally non-sense these days. Don't let the rejections bring you down—most recruiters don't know what they're doing.

What are your expectations? From my experience and that of friends around me, it can take a year if not two to find a job using the usual "apply with CV" approach. You should consider asking friends in your network for a "plug" in the company where they work.

I did make a post on LinkedIn. Only one person replied saying "hire him!" and I only know him because I previously reached out to him (his company is mainly security IT stuff). He did a presentation in my ACM club. All my "friends" (people with whom I worked on projects across multiple classes) and university network basically are not communicating with me. It's really disheartening, since I did help classmates with some things and was always positive.

I've also asked my neighbors (software dealing with Oracle), electrician, and friends of family. No one can provide anything concrete, besides stating "it's easy to find a job."

Honestly, it's more disheartening to learn you have no network when you thought you did.
