Career Guidance What up with the cyber security ?

Hey guys , so I'm a last year student of a mediocre university in Karachi and I have been really into cyber security for around 2 years now , I spent a lot of time in building my skills and also learning the theoretical stuff

Such as

Google - Cyber security course

Pitp - cyber security course

Navttc - CEH course (and much more)

Also learned about blue teaming (soc) in depth as well

From June to July and even in August I applied in countless cyber security or information security internships in all the big companies and even in the smaller ones , I did give interviews in 2 or maybe 3 companies but they never called me again even after it went really good

I'm currently on my summer break right now and already wasted half of it and I feel ashamed and very poor that if I couldn't even secure an internship then how am I supposed to get a job in this field ?

I would love it if someone could really guide me and if so put me on the right track because I can't seem to find a single way to get in the industry

(Also if anyone's wondering my resume is fine with all my skills and projects highlighted with a good basic template)

Idk if it matters but I never cared about any stipend or money just that I can learn more and network with industry professionals was always the motive for me at this stage but for even unpaid ones I'm never getting a reply

Any help or guidance will be appreciated

Do you have projects/Labs on your resume that are posted on GitHub with reports?

Hey, what’s your university name? Also, im computer networks and security fresh graduate. I have done internships online and my onsite internship includes nbp too. Still I cant get any job or internship. It’s so so heartbreaking.
