What sort of program are you in? If you're close to graduating something, then you at a minimum have some classwork to your name. If you graduate, you'll have a degree or some other credential to your name too. Meeting the graduation requirements and getting the degree is probably the most important thing to do.

Since this is HN I'm guessing it's something IT or STEM related, and you are applying for jobs. Getting a first job is hard, but you're in the situation you're in with the resources you've got now, so the only thing you can do is work with the situation you're in.

I would continue applying for the sort of work you're already applying to, while finishing the requirements to graduate. Consider relaxing your criteria for type of work, prestige, or geography. If you are not getting interviews, have someone review your resume or increase your volume of applications. If you aren't getting callbacks from interviews, try to figure out why.

Your other option is to find work in an unrelated field, either before or after graduation. That can be a good thing to do just to get some money in the door, and to keep yourself busy doing anything. Bonus points if you're around other people doing it. The downside is that it takes time away from graduation or job applications within your field.

I understand! Thank you so much for the execution plan. Yes, I am CS major who is about to graduate soon.

I will review my resume and try to make it better! Figuring out the rejection is the hardest part.

That makes sense and I empathize with your situation. Rejection sucks, the first job is the hardest to get, and it's going to suck until you get the first yes.

A trick that has sometimes helped me is to think of each no as a success, getting you closer to a yes. So rejection stings, but every rejection means you completed on application, and statistically speaking you're going to get a yes at some point. Or, at the very least, if you've gone so long and have gotten N hundred rejections you know it probably won't work and you'll have to make alternate plans.

I will start preparing for this! As an alternative I am thinking of PhD but that requires good grades in Master and I messed it up. So I have to think backup of backup!
