Job search is too painful these days
I have been searching for procurement/supply chain job for almost 2 years. I tried applying in construction/engineering/ manufacturing /NGO & in education sector. I have attended a few interviews where they will tell me they will get back to me but won’t get back. Some Low balled me and die to my current financial situation I will be agreeing to what they are offering but yet they won’t select me.
I have people who were with me when I had a stable job but when I lost my job, most of them didn’t keep in touch with me and they cut ties with me. I have a few genuine friends who always motivate me saying I will find a job soon.
I had a girl who wants to date me but when I explained that I’m unemployed she cut contact with me.
I was not bothered because I always look in a positive perspective.
I know people will only be with you when they need something from you.
I really need a job as my personal savings have been used up. I know I will get a job in a matter of time but it’s just that some hurtful words and mockery from people affects me deeply ..
I’m planning to take up temp role while I get a full time job but my friend told me that if I take up temp job the hiring manager and HR in the future company will scruntize me based on that and will not select me.
How can I find jobs better? Actionable feedback like job portals will help a lot.

I don’t understand the part you really need a job as your personal saving had used up. Then why are you choosy in the first place? To stick to the point to find your own job that you want , and not rather get a job to survive? There are many jobs available, and is you whether want to take it or not. Whether the company low ball you or not, so? The fact is you have zero income, and without a job how you gonna survive? Come on! Be more realistic, be grateful if they want to employ you. In africa, many older kids searching job daily, and they work just to get food for their family.
