Applied for multiple assistant roles and case manager positions after graduation

I have been struggling to find a job after graduating with a bachelor's in psychology. My work experience is limited to retail sales and a brief stint baking cookies. Now in my late 20s, I've spent my entire 20s applying for various positions, including research assistant roles during college, but have had no luck. Recently, I interviewed for a position at a pottery place, but they chose to give more hours to someone internally after two meetings. I've been actively applying for roles such as case manager, front office positions, and various assistant roles in libraries and HR. I use platforms like Glassdoor, Indeed, and LinkedIn, and often apply directly through company websites. The pottery interview came from a cold email I sent, which I've done frequently, but I find that cold emailing has led to more rejections compared to applying through job sites, where I often wait a month or more for responses. I often regret not minoring or double majoring in something that could have opened more doors for me, like social work or administration. I try to tailor my resume for each job, but with limited experience, there’s not much to customize. I occasionally write cover letters, but they don’t seem to make a difference. In the near future, I plan to return to community college to earn credits I need for the master’s program I want to pursue. I currently live in Florida and would appreciate any advice on improving my job search.
