I’ve been searching for awhile now and I’m starting to financially struggle as I’m stuck in low wage factory jobs. I hate telling my family as they have been brutal in the past about interviews as they have told me I’m up against good looking people which lowers confidence a little

Either the interviewers were faking their appreciation of you to keep you committed to more interviews, or they had other candidates they liked just as much as you, or the bosses nephew wanted a job so they decided to ghost their candidates. I read less than 20% of jobs are advertised online, and most are hired internally or through word of mouth or social association.

I know it’s so tough I guess there will always be someone better in the application pool

Not true, employers don't always want the best employee because the best might compete with them for management positions or leave their position for a better one shortly after being fully trained. My dad had a boss that would only hire people who could not speak English properly because she did not want somebody to replace her in management.

You can reach out to them

They just tell me they had someone who were more suitable

There's practice interviews on youtube

It’s always the same response “we have selected another candidate that is better suited to our requirements”

I guess you are never guaranteed there will always be someone better
