I have a Masters degree in Computer Science and 8+ YOE in QA / Testing. Was laid off from my last job about 3 months into it.

Testing-vise, I have done manual and then some automation which involved API and some UI checks. Self-taught several libraries or frameworks like Cucumber. I even have GitHub repo and YouTube channel showcasing projects like HURL, Javascript based API checks and more.

I ran out of EI (Employment Insurance). Started doing Uber a month ago. Savings are almost gone, I desperately need a job.

I even applied to Walmart jobs like cart pusher, was rejected. I am just getting rejections or being ghosted.

Where can I go from here? What job can I do?

Edit: Thanks to comments by u/magicthatworks, changed “fired” to “laid off”.
