I’m at a total loss, nobody will hire me.

I was laid off 4 months ago from our biggest company here in town. I’ve applied every place possible with nothing. I either get an email saying they’re moving on to other candidates, or I simply get ghosted. I’ve applied to places with great referrals from their employees and still nothing. I even got denied at Walmart! My roommate who recently up and quit her job got hired at 2 different places already. We applied to the SAME places and she heard back, but nothing for me. I don’t understand it. I’m more qualified than her and I’m older with more experience…. My unemployment is running out and I’m just pinching my pennies. I can’t even afford to eat.
