Why is it difficult to get a job?

I dunno… it feels a little bit disheartening. Almost like having jobs portals online for run of the mill work has turned the jobs market into something of a tinder equivalent.
It shouldn't be this hard to get part-time work. I should surely be able to just go into the local business and have a chat. Let them get to know me and see if I'm a good fit and capable. I did do this for the carpet shop and the woman insisted that the only option was to apply online…
Thus far, I've applied to.a locally owned carpet and flooring shop, a large insurance provider (call centre), a phone based sales job (or b2b lead generator as they like to call it), a WFH position training AI and a mystery shopper.
Is visiting holy shrines (dargahs) or graves haraam in Islam?
All I want is a job to do for 20 hours or so a week. I'm fairly flexible in times I'm prepared to work and I'm open to doing basic retail and call centre work (arguably that'd be my preference for the social aspect).
I'm in a bit of a lull in terms of translation work at the moment and, with the cost of living crisis being what it is, have started the process of looking for a part-time job to supplement my income.
Maybe my CV is too focused on my translation work rather than my earlier customer service work, but I've been writing each cover letter individually and in a personalised manner that addresses the specific demands of the job that I'm applying for, so…
What is it that gives a man who is a submissive cock sucker his most pleasure?
Who knows… maybe I'll get a call back today, but honestly, I doubt it. It just reminds me of why I was so keen to do freelance in the first place. The feeling of dejection getting turned down for roles you know that you are perfectly able to do is bad for your morale.
Being limited by living in Mullingar and not being able to drive, the only other jobs available locally that I'm remotely qualified for are care assistant roles and, honestly, I don't think I'm a warm enough person to do that role (also, you probably need to drive).
And nothing. Not even a call to an interview.
