I can't be hired for a journalist position in my country (Lithuania). I did traineeships, have a bachelor's degree in French philology, master's. Why?

Philology doesn’t really work for journalism, so that might be why.

Have you tried in other countries in Europe, In terms of getting into any profession, its going to be hard. But its going to require you to take a lot of rejection.

Plus you don't have a degree or any other qualifitcations in journalism, I don't understand how philology or french will help you in that profession.

Have you got a BA honours in journalism, if not, then I think you taken the wrong qualifications.

[AmeerX]

I think it's because you are not meant for the Journalism job. It's more about speaking skills, confidence, and beauty in journalism. You are going to report the weather and you want to look like a average girl with shyness index of 100. Sorry you won't be cut out for that.
Try a different job.
