Casual short term labour jobs are all I can probably do. I am not going to land a professional job ever. There is no need for LinkedIn or the social media nonsense. Not having driver's license is a huge deal in my country it is hard getting casual labour jobs without transport. No driver's license has ruled me out of screening for jobs with agencies in the past.

I helped people land a professional job when i noticed they had the capacity to grow to be a professional,its not always about what you can do atm but about how motivated you are to learn.
Bolded: yeah thats understandable

Lol, when you find this job can you tell us all what it is because I want it as well.

This is why you should have gone in the grad program, they pay for your CPA.
Cash jobs are far and few between. Only ones you get away with are like waste removal but you need a license for that.

After that, all the boutique and suburban firms go for international students (cheap expendable labor that never says no). In accounting if you don't get a good grad job in commerce, big 4, and maybe some mid-tiers you are pretty much doomed to be working in small 'boutique firms'." |
All my wife's friends are accountants, none of them got into the big 4, they all work small boutique firms. Guess what? After getting their CPA they were 6 figures.
The big 4 bleed you dry till there is no blood left in you and pay you shit for as long a they can get away with it.
You make waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay to many assumptions about companies without getting to know them.

Bod underline - That is how I pick our juniors when we hire. My boss looks as experience I look at their resume and go why would I hire this guy he has jumped jobs every 6months? There is a lot of dumb asses good at that. Jump between jobs before they found out the know shit.

There is too much competition from an over supply of graduates for all firms regardless of their size. Good grades, extra-curricular, part-time job, relevant experience and captain of sports teams are needed to show qualities to employers that the graduate is a high quality. Many graduates never get a job in their field of study and end up working jobs way beneath them just to survive. There are plenty of taxi drivers, fast food, cleaners and retail workers that are college graduates and never work in any job relevant to their field of study.

No job within 3 months of graduating, I accepted I had wasted my time and took on another study course. I briefly started a Drafting course for a new start but I gave up on that within 2 months because it was not what I wanted to do and the employment prospects of getting work seemed bleak. With months I considered doing a lab tech course but that was grasping at straws and there were hardly any jobs in that field. I was desperate to get back into a field of study that would lead to a guarantee job. No idea how to write resumes, cover letters and I could not handle the pressure of face to face interviews. Doing work for the welfare, is the only experience I have had for the last 10 years. Job services do not help with resume, cover letter or even set people up on job placements like they did back in the good old days and they no longer pay for study courses, driver's licenses, forklift tickets or purchase new clothes needed for job interviews.

If people who can barely speak English can get in the grad program you could have.
Reading your other comment, you gave up after 3months of graduating, most graduate take 6 to 12months to find work, also most apply for the grad program in their last semester, otherwise you have to wait 12months minimum. Grad programs start in certain period, they don't advertise them all the time, usually it is in January/February with interviews and activities in Aug/Sept/Oct.
