Maybe you need to think outside the box.

Me too so I feel. your pain.  Things have changed a lot since the last time I was in the job market.  Having to apply for everything online is frustrating since I think it's hard to show myself off.

Make your own job.  Be a helper for the elderly or handicapped.  Do yard work for your neighbors. Walk dogs, dog sit, house sit, babysit, be a mother's helper.  Tutor students.  Register at a temp agency.  Craiglist has tons of jobs people hire for.  Don't sit around and wait for someone to hand you a job go make your own.

I know the feeling.  I gave up on working for others.  I'm working on employing myself now.  Look into Fiverr.  Some people are making a living there.  I've got several gigs and am a level 2 seller.  It's easy, fun and can put some bucks into your wallet.  If you keep searching for something conventional it can be done on the side.  :thumbsup:

There's also Elance and Clickworker.

Fortunately or unfortunately, whichever way you look at it, to make money right now requires a bit of out-of-the-box, entrepreneurial thinking. There are a ton of good ideas here like eLance, Fiverr, etc.

Another one that's a bit of a gamble as far as actually making money, but pays off in skills and connections, is VolunteerMatch. Nonprofits post a lot of volunteer help wanted opportunities that can be done from home. I like to usually donate five hours a week anyway to some type of volunteer work, so that's why I went there in the first place.

I've made a ton of great connections there with the board members of the nonprofits I've volunteered for over the years and every now and then when one or another has a temporary contract paying type position, a few of them have contracted me to do it.

It's not definite money, but it is definite in that it gives you connections for networking, keeps you busy and on a routine, and helps an organization that helps others.

Don't give up; you are not alone. It is frustrating journey. I searched for almost four months and was almost ready to give up when a couple places finally called me for interviews and I got hired at one of the places. My sister searched for over a year before something came along for her and she has a great paying job right now. So keep looking and good luck!  :wave:

Do you have any temp agencies in your area? Usually they have some type of work for everyone. The pay isn't that great, a lot of times, but since you're only looking for part time work anyway, that shouldn't be an objection.
