You've applied to independently-owned/family-owned small business that needs help and not just corporate wanks like McDonald's? People having no work experience

You've applied to independently-owned/family-owned small business that needs help and not just corporate wanks like McDonald's? People having no work experience tend to fare better with such businesses. Also, most job applicants are having to send over 100 applications before landing a job, and that's non-professional jobs like you're searching for. Professional jobs are requiring several hundred applications. It's a grind.
