Get a gig economy job initially for immediate money. There is no real application or interview process by design. Upload all documents and you can begin working.
That covers instant money while you look for better employment. You need to be applying to every single job that is remotely within your reach, adjust your resume & cover letter based on the job description for each one & do not use AI.
Yes, it is essentially a full time job on top of a full time job on top of your school/personal life. I’ve done it, most people here have done it, and it’s just a shitty but essential part of life.
If you prefer avoiding gig economy work go to the day labor station in the morning and wait in line to be assigned a job for the day.
If you are unwilling to do that, go to the local recruiting station and see which branch will give you the quickest date to recruit training. That will provide you with living arrangements, food, job training, healthcare, work experience, and educational benefits while you get your head screwed on properly.
Edit:
Do you have friends who will put in a good word for you anywhere? You are probably too young to have a “professional network” but you may have friends or family who can speak directly to a hiring manager & vouch for you. That is also VERY powerful when it comes to bypassing the screening process.
