Dunky127's journey

I graduated with a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science two years ago, but I've been struggling to find a job in the field since then. I didn't need to work during college because my state aid covered my tuition, so I focused solely on my studies. Now, I feel like I'm lacking the experience and skills that employers are looking for, especially since the software engineering job market is so competitive. For the past four months, I've been trying to find any kind of job outside of software engineering, but I've faced a lot of rejections and even ghosting. My resume mainly highlights my degree and a few CS projects, but I don't have much else to offer. I'm feeling stuck and unsure of what to do next. I've considered broadening my job search to include IT roles, and I've thought about reaching out to my alma mater for help. Networking seems crucial, especially with such a gap in my experience. I'm also open to exploring alternative ways to gain experience, like volunteering or even selling items at markets. Any advice on smart paths to take would be greatly appreciated!
