how the fuck do you get a job, man
(hexbear.net)
I've been applying constantly, I've got references, I have previous work experience, I got resume help what can I possibly be doing wrong

Unironically better than filling out an online form and submitting it into the void. Seriously.
Go to career fairs, stalk hiring manager on linkedin, go to their homes.
Submitting resumes online and expecting to hear your name called is almost akin to placing faith in a nonexistant meritocratic system. What, you think someone is going to read your resume and be more impressed by it than the resume of a guy who bullshitted everything or some person, somewhere with 3 phds in your field?
Only good jobs I've ever gotten have been from knowing someone (nepotism) or just sending resumes to everyone in the area and getting insanely lucky (unreasonable for most people)
Until i got into a trade union of course but that's got a whole set of issues in and of itself
This is very good advice. But I would note that many career fair booths are glorified billboards that tell you to apply online anyway
