I am indian my current location is mumbai

Helloooooooooooo I m new in hare

I want job but no school certificate home education only l like work English reading writing is good I am responsible honesty..
I’m about to graduate Spring Hill College in Mobile, Alabama this spring and I still haven’t been able to find a job. I’m projected to graduate Summa Cum Laude with a double major business degree in data analytics and marketing. I don’t know exactly what I want to do yet (anything that pays well right now) but so far I haven’t even gotten calls back from any of the 30+ applications I’ve submitted (mostly consulting and in-house marketing/date analysis). Am I just targeting the wrong companies or what? We have no career development office at my school so it’s been a struggle to find anything at all. What might you suggest to improve my odds?
