I'm done with the bs game of looking for employment. I'm self employed now
What do you do? How did you get started?
I have a knack for repairing tech, so I put out advertisements - newspaper, store noticeboards, town hall - with an email and a promise to charge far less than out-of-warranty shops. I work locally and get quite a few folk who message me, from those who have simple problems but no tech-savvy family, to those who commission prebuilt PCs, or ask me to research and find quality products in the sea of trash because they just don't have hours or days to research for themselves.
The HMRC gets a Self Assessment tax return once every April, I claim rebates, and regularly help local stores with donations to fund, sell or recycle.
It's the best way I've found to work on my terms: with as little interference from governments as possible; not profiting from corporations or conglomerates hellbent on servitude, profit and extortion of the poor, neglecting employees or destroying environments*; and earning enough to afford breaks and occasionally give advice ehe
This is why I don't work with or use the Job Centre or its affililates, Meta, Amazon, or Google.

May as well put these shapely feet to work somehow... sigh
