I am not fussy about job I send emails to jobs that pop up on my screen and just email away.
I do not even check the jobs or criteria and just send email claiming I am the best candidate for that job. It is a cut and paste email and I meet my quotas for my job search efforts.
Job search is pure numbers game, it is like winning the lottery.
The worst part is having to do that work for welfare nonsense that wastes time and does not provide any skills or experience for real world employment. Painting rocks, sorting clothes, weeding are not employable skills for the real world.
In the past I used to just cold call employers from phone book and claim to work for lowest wages and willing to do any job.

This is a big mistake. HR will notice very easily that you made a copy and paste and don't care about that job.

You have to read what the job is about, what is the company and them look at your qualifications and write an introduction letter showing why you are a good fit for it.

Yes try to focus on more career options. If you do it online you gotta stand out. Networking is also very important, you gotta get yourself meeting as many people as you can.
